    I installed and plumbed my intercooler and fit a filter on it for now till I finish the rest of the system. The heat exchanger is 24x12x1 mounted in the grill. The electric coolant pump is mounted in the lower drivers side fender area. It is currently cycling the coolant, so as of right now I have an intercooler intake:cold: Performance seems about the same as my ram air but quieter.

    Interesting setup... Not sure how effecient that Air Filter is sitting next to the Intake and above the heads and headers?

    How was the install of the innercooler? Any chopping involved?

    Well funny thing is it doesn't matter. That intercooler setup is SOOO efficeint that it won't ever get above ambiet lol. I did alot of modification so that I didn't have to cut anything. The only thing I had to trim was the plastic shroud to the driver's side of the radiator

    Man, I hope this car is done soon lol..definitely ballsy since tuning was not perfect back when you started...at least now there's a brighter outlook. Check out our supporting vendor RDP Motorsport if you need assistance. Steve's his name.
