Help deciding among the most effective among the ineffective intercoolers.

Hi guys!



I run a 335dT as a daily driver. I do about 20.600 miles/year in it. Removed DPF, BMC air filter in OEM box, stock exhaust, stock IC, EGR. Boost is 2.7 bar (39.16026 psi) mapped by DieselPower in Norway.

Dyno says 313.34WHp/573.15WNm. When recalculated for loss over drivetrain that should give 365Hp/751Nm on crank. (also did a dyno when 100% stock to measure the loss over drivetrain)



Now my IC's given up (leaking), and also the red hose from the turbo to IC. New hose ordered from Forge.(http://ift.tt/1tnnOxG)

But after reading up on intercoolers for hours I still cant decide which IC to buy. Im not gonna spend $1000 on a IC so here are the four ones I'm choosing between. I know that they are all chinese crap in many peoples eyes, but I'd like to give it a go and learn from my misstakes.



Plans: EGR removal, IC and plumbing upgrade, separate CCV tank, and possibly a better exhaust. And a remap after all this has been done.



So, all you flow and boost experts out there, could you rate these from 1-4?

1st: 26"x6"x5" (core 20"x6"x5")

2nd: 27"x6"x6" (core 22"x6"x6")

3rd: 24,5"x11.8".3" (core 17.71"x11.8"x3")

4th: 24,5"x11.8".4" (core 17.71"x11.8"x4")

I know that the last two has, how should I put it without hurting anyones feelings, less appropriate designed endtanks. (just as good as a roulette table shaped as a square?) And then some people says that the thicker core on the other modells are ineffective in other ways.



It would be really fun to get the experts ideas on this matter.



Thanks in advance guys.
