I've recently put together, with the help of a machine shop, a new 2L turbo forged engine. I'm now driving the car with the standard turbo, but I'm starting to think about cooling the charged air in readiness for a bigger turbo. what i'd like to get opinions on is, how cooler does a bigger turbo blow compared to a smaller one. I've not really explained this very well, but is the charged air noticeably cooler with the bigger turbo at the same psi as the smaller one. thanks.

Yes you're not wrong, I do need to start working them out. I don't really know though if the temps are explained in the charts.

It,s a 3sgte 2L turbo from a Cileca gt4, I,ve used Wossner 8.0:1 pistons. The turbo I was thinking of using is the Garrett GTX Gen2 3071. Would be happy with 380 400hp. The standard turbo is Toyota's own, CT20.

Will a bigger turbo blow significantly cooler air than a smaller turbo at, lets say 1.5 bar.

Nope, didn't understand a word of that, but thanks Max.

Ok, I have a turbo engine that uses a charge cooler setup. My tuner guy tells me that the charge cooler setup is now struggling to cope with the inlet temps from my small standard turbo, It's maxing out at 1.1bar, 285hp. As I'm about to fit a bigger turbo, it got me thinking, would it blow a little bit cooler as it did'int have to work as hard, and allow me to keep the charge cooler setup I already have. I'll find this out myself by trying it.
