any updates to how the B engine is running after the intercooler install?

I am am about to rebuild my B engine for my 75 BJ40 and am curious if the intercooler is worth the investment.
 
hi,
be carefull with your B motor with a turbo ( service live of your motor?)
the B motor has'nt spray oil bore under pistons crowns ( necessary with a turbo)
the spray oil bore exist on next generation motor : the 3B motor 3.4 liter

3 years of running with no issues. Not sure which screw my mechanic adjusted :facepalm: but I noticed a little bit more smoke when accelerating.
I started noticing a little bit of oil on the turbo, I believe is time to change it, I will try to switch to a CT20 which spool faster and helps on low revs.

In my case, running fine and strong. No problem detected

If you keep the boost under 10 psi, it will be fine. Mine is limited to 6 psi

Mau yo me inclinaria por un CT16, el CT20 es bastante grande para un B a pocas PSI, en este caso un amigo habia puesto uno y le cargaba solo en 3era y 4ta para que lo considere

El CT12b que ando es enorme, es para 1KZ 3000cc, carga a media maquina del motor, osea como a 1800-2000 revoluciones calculando por sonido obvio.
No habia pensado en un CT16.... Voy a ver mas y lo monto.
