Re: What happens when you are never happy with you car's power ( My Turbo Build)
Ok so i went to the hardware store and got these spiffy cooler mounting tabs , lol
i wanted the cooler to sit out a bit from the Radiator support because of the gate placement.. it cleared the cooler,, but it was still 1/2 inch between the two .. and i was worried that under load if the motor moved the gate would reach the cooler.
EZ fix!!
