Re: The World is Ending... Sinister's turbo project inside...
looking good keep working on it
but is it really worth blowing your motor to ---- over where you place a intercooler?
you would be better off not running a intercooler then having your ---- mounted inchs from the turbo and manifold

Dan, you don't have to get a new intercooler, stupid nog.
Get creative with what you have and find a different mounting position.
I've tuned a setup just like that, except with an ihi turbo. That ---- was so close it's not even funny.
After a few runs, that intercooler was an interheater.
I'm sure it won't blow up, as long as it's tuned well.
If you're still wanting to do it your way, then I suggest you run higher octane and/or some kind of IC sprayer for wot runs.

from what I remember:
for that intercooler, you have to notch a rectangle out of the bottom of the bumper support.
you have to grind a corner of the radiator support for the lower inlet.
The charge piping will go up over the turbo next to the radiator and back.

Re: The World is Ending... Sinister's turbo project inside...
after owning that same intercooler as a front mount for some years i will say they do heat soak a bit, but its actually still an efficient intercooler. on my buddeis .60/.63 t3 it works well. good luck with the project
to hopefully give you a baseline or estimate, there are people running 13s in 1st gen probes with that ihi turbo (its efficient up to ~15psi) and bolt ons. 2.2L n/a makes 110whp 130wtq. redlines at 6Krpm, curb weight is 2900

Waiting on parts. 
Full set of piping, bov and fat FMIC will be in the mail from Japan to me shortly, I hope. I also have a flange/small pipe for my o2 housing for a 3" exhaust coming (it'll be a 3" open downpipe to start), so all I will need is oil lines and I still need an adapter plate, but those may be in the works soon as well.
