why are you putting an intercooler in the engine bay

(get a different IC)

looks good though.

It's a water to air ic...

Re: my home made turbo

I like the IC the way it is, it's different and it works well, it's staying.

Nice to see a different point of view tho.

What advantage would you see in changing it? It only take a fiew second to take off if I need acces to the radiator cap, I don't see that as a problem, do you?

Things that might change shortly are BOV, clutch and oil lines.

ya, my first time at the track with it. Did 3 runs with no water in the intercooler and the best one was 15.29 with 0.8sec time reaction on winter tires. So if I new how to start properly, I would easely hit low 14s with no intercooler.(pump died)

I have no regrets yet even after blowing my first motor last week.
