Re: Causes of pressure drop through an intercooler
it's a combination of all of the above but mostly of the volume of the intercooler. think of it, there's all of this extra volume for the turbo/supercharger to pressurise as opposed to a small tube. this make some increased turbo lag, but the overall pressure remains the same (i believe, correct me if im wrong).
The restrictin inside the intake does make some decrease in flow but i don't think it makes much of a pressure drop. And the cooling effect does drop some of the pressure but i don't think it's noticeable.
