Need help on Intercooler decision

My intercooler has developed a crack and needs replacement. wanted to take this as an opportunity to decide on BAS intercooler. Couple of questions

. Does it make sense to upgrade the intercooler without any remap?
. Will it change the performance?
. Any other issues that needs to be aware of?

It takes 10-15 days for delivery in UAE through a specialist garage. Other option is to go for the standard one and get the truck within a day.

Appreciate your valuable comments

Cheers

BAS Intercooler will fit without any further mods... You may notice a slight increase in performance due to better cooling/internal flow... Good mod and easy enough to do.

Had an uprated intercooler (Alisport) fitted to my 300tdi - not much difference except for better towing - more torque.
Then had the fuel pump optimised (equivalent to a remap) - performance and drivability transformed.
Now have a BAS intercooler and remap on the 2.4 tdci.
To get the most out of a BAS intercooler get the remap as well.
Pete's back up is second to none

Hi, I’m based in Dubai and have a standard intercooler that only has been used for 1000km. I replaced it from new with the bad intercooler. Make me a small offer and the standard intercooler is yours. 2015 110 Defender Heritage Utility Station Wagon

Dear all

Thanks for your comments. Had to go ahead with a standard one as BAS would've taken two weeks
