52hp? ---- that? I have used an intercooler sparyer, and contrary to popular belief, they help. No help like 52 hp, but help. What I have been using lately is an alchohol sprayer on my VW, and ...... well that's top secret.

Re:nx nter-cooler

I have never used one personally, but wouldn't the rapid temperature drops (freezing) of the spray cause the aluminum welds to crack over a while?? The fact that the n-tercoller only sprays over the front flat part of cooling fins and not the end tanks would cause unequal heat distribution. With that drastic of a temp drop and the hot air coming in from the turbo, this may cause the aluminum to expand and contract very quickly causing fatigue in the welds. Hmmmm, then again i haven't used one so what do i know

lol

Re:nx nter-cooler

thats a great price i would try it out and if you dont like it sell it again. there is alot of people using them and the colder air will be alot better for the engine. i say give it a try.
