Re:
LOL. That is so ghetto.
Interesting numbers. Shows the thing really works.
If its efficiency you have in mind, I'm sure Nissan/Renault are spot on.
Sure a bigger cooler will give you more power assuming you have a boost controller, but will also increase lag. Not such an issue for auto's where the power never really goes off during gear changes, but for manuals... every time your change gears you loose all that boost and have to build it up again.
Again, not so much an issue if you click through the gears fast and keep the revs high, but not exactly the driving they built the car and engine for.
The only way to keep the well balanced boost vs lag characteristic of the 2.0 DCI by changing the intercooler, is find a new one with the same internal volume, but with better heat dissipation, which usually means more weight. Even then, it will cost you thousands and as the max boost is limited to ~1.0 Bar, they only improvement will be a very minor reduction in lag.
If you want more power get a diesel chip or boost controller. If you want better intercooler efficiency install an intercooler water sprayer, like they had on older WRX

Re:
Cool nice to see real time figures as your driving.
Does the scan gauge show you temperatures as well or just what the ECU is reading?
