Nope. People refer to cold/hot side in all brands when talking about before and aft of the intercooler. I was trying to soften the blow but he tried to shush me so........

Have at it....

Guarantee I could walk around any car meet around here and say hot side of a turbo setup and 70% would say something about the exhaust. Not saying he's right or wrong, but it's just what it is. The words "compressor" and "turbine" would just confuse the piss out of everyone.

must be a truck only thing then because the rest of the automotive world the hotside is the exhaust. other then this thread I have never heard anyone call the intake tract the hot side in a turbo system.
lets see one side hits 1200+ ... sounds like the hot side of a turbo to me
wow.. totally missed the cac thing i guess
I've always heard the compressor outlet/ CAC inlet the hot side, and the engine intake/CAC outlet the cold side. I get what you're saying though.
yip
Roflmfao.



I was referring to the hot side cac pipe in my original poke. TJ clearly understood that in his response (although not certain at the time it was understood I was joking even though a :) was supplied), as did everyone else. I see your clarification in the above post...but that bucket isn't carrying a whole lot of water within the context of this thread.
lmao

BC Canada Eh!
And if someone says clock the hot side, do you relocate your uppipes or something? It bolts to a damn flange.

really? so who put the flange there? and you dont think they looked at clocking it?
I would bet the guy making your hotside plumbing had to look at the clocking.

the CAC can have a hot and cold side, but to say the turbo hot side is the compressor is WRONG.

Have you not learned anything around here?

You're the only person referring to a turbo. The only one. You're the ones who's comment was wrong within the context of this thread. Everyone else is talking about hot and cold cac pipping. Are you related to Berman?

Mj, everyone else here knows what we are talking about. You're the only one that is referring to it like that. And since you have a non intercooled obs, sure go ahead and consider it like that. I, do not. I have an intercooled truck. So, just stop trying to defend yourself. You won't win. That's it. Done.
