1. anyone tried that before?Originally Posted by ktteoh
Probably, we're constantly being surprised these days by what some people go sticking on their e34s
2. would the intercooler have restriction on the airflow (i assume turboed cars can just 'force' the air thru)
Yes by a considerable factor (that will affect economy a little and WOT power a bit more)
3. what intercooler will fit my needs.
The one with the largest cross-sectional core size and smallest length.
4. Remember the weight of the cooler would add to the overall performance loss.
You can try this but it won't do antyhing much- at least it avoids adding weight (well ok, maybe a gram or two) but it's a far better mod than a cone filter;
