Busted Intercooler Fix?
 
So I bought a turbo off of a guy the other day and he just happened to throw in a huge Trust intercooler off of an eclipse for 30 bucks. The only thing wrong with it, is that is was in a wreck and a couple of the bars were punctured. Is there any way to fix these? I'd really like to use it since I already have it, but I looked on google and no luck in finding an answer. I'll take some pics of the damage at work and post em up tonight.

if they arent real bad you can weld the holes.

jb weld?

Like the said, depends on how bad it is. You can weld it, or you can just cut those tubes off and remake the end tanks. Could also try JB weld all over the area. Depending on how big the core is, it won't be running as good as it could, but it will still be better than most $30 IC's at the junkyard

here are some pics of the beast..i was thinking about jb welding it but I'm debating on whether to keep it or sell it because I dont see how it will fit under my bumper and i found a 1g dsm sidemount for 25 bucks..so I dont want to jb weld it if im going to sell it.
