god i wish my focus was painted,

i would just grab a front mount from ebay.

 

I didnt say the fan Idea wouldnt work, I'm sure it would prolly work better than a scoop, I'm just saying those intercoolers dont do awhole lot, Mine dropped my charge temps maybe 10 degrees, from 130 to 120 on a 80 degree day.

 

Well, for one, I don't have the money to go buy a fan or something like that, and I definitely don't have money to go get a front mount unless it's absolutely free. I'll just make a scoop or some ----.

 

word. how ever you do it you just gotta make sure you get air threw there. good luck with your build

 

If you cant come up with $99 for a front mount, how are you gonna come up with money for the injectors and chip?

 

Well, I'll get the money eventually with my job here at the college. It's just that I have other things (such as rent) that I'd like to save my money for, so I'd rather not spend the extra $100 for a front mount when I have a perfectly good side mount that I got for free.

 

any intercooler is better than non at all so use what you got

 

bolt it on. who the ---- cares.

 

Why bother having an IC if it's not getting enough air to work properly? I care, my engine cares, and my wallet/bank account cares.
