    Holy crap! You've got more intercooler than radiator. Looks nice! I take it performance-wise, more is better?

    I just want to be sure that question doesn't have any sexual connotations?

    Ehh - if I got another radiator it'd be a PWR 57mm, but theres no need yet - I have never had a cooling issue and my radiator is fairly new. We'll see.


    Bad Manners - I guess sell it if you don't have a turbo lol

    WTF is wrong with you...rofl....jeez....it looks like it was made for the car, just enough room.

    Looks pretty good. I guess there's no AC is your car anymore...lol.

    Alot of work left for the engine to turn over?


    Quick Question since you know about turbo's and stuff:

    If I add a small front mount intercooler with a cone at one end and the other end to my MAF, will it do the same thing as a CAI or better?

    Try and answer some questions since .info doesn't multi-quote:

    Kriss - 30x20x4 is the size of the intercooler.

    Bad Manners - no, you will not benefit at all by doing that. The only reason an intercooler works is because the air that goes through it is compressed and hot. You can't suck in ambient temperature air and cool it with ambient temperature air across the heat exchanger - you'll actually be restricting your air flow.
