Here goes. I knew this would cause controversy. Personally I have had a lot of trouble with a front mount cooler and the GZE idling. Too big you say, I've tried smaller. Piping too big (2.5"), I've also tried smaller and lost top end power with no idle fix. Vac leak, no. Tune, no. Idle control motor, no. Put in the VN throttle body originally for a better idle control motor setup and I amazingly picked up 5KW @ wheels but lost a little down low; still didn't fix idle. I tried different bypass valves, still no luck. Have been and spoken to many people about the problem and nobody could fix it. One night whilst stuffing around with it I disconnected all piping and roughed in a TB at the intake, fired her up and purred like a kitten. I then hooked up piping S/C and cooler into that TB and tested from boost back down to idle and it worked without a hitch. Talking to engineers about the prob and they seem to think it may be the frequency of air entering engine canceling each other out and the TB at intake changes that frequency. I don't know for certain. The first TB is probably not needed but the engine behaved much nicer with it in the circuit. This is only my experience OK. I didn't loose any power with the 2nd TB. I used the same dyno for each test with temp compensation on. The photo shoot was done around Christmas and I haven't had a chance to stuff around with since as I have other projects on the go. All you experts that say these are false claims, I don't really care. I don't have to prove anything as the car was never built with only power in mind, it's only a nice little cruiser.
