this probably won't fit but this seller used to sell one that was smaller (top to bottom with opposing outlets)
since your already going with side to side piping setup...this would have been quite the intercooler for you...if it were the smaller one...

A top down intercooler...instead of a ton of charge piping to go from one side to the other with a side to side like you have...a top down has the piping on one side which force feeds the intercooler from the top down.

k well heres a little update..... the i/c is installed as well as the turbo to i/c piping... just got to finish up the i/c to TB ( all 2/5")





and a true cold air intake/ as well as a pic showing off polished the turbo

What are you going to do about your secondary Fan that is now removed??

I think your gonna have overheating issues IMO

The top one is definitely the kind I'm going to get.  It will definitely save a lot of piping.  The bottom could probably be made to fit, may be doing a 90* then a turn for the piping but it would probably work.


And I don't really think he will have overheating issues.  If the radiator is in good condition, it should be fine I would think.  With a 160* TS in 100+ degree weather, I can still get my car to run below 200 idling around town if I feel the need to by turning the heater on.  On the freeway, its barely at 180*.   Who knows, this will definitely be interesting to see how the cooling issue is and how much the intake temperatures are affected.

I think he still has space in there. It looks like he brought out the FMIC, and since he doesnt have AC (hence lack of Condensor) he can take out the spacers for the front mounted fan, and take it back a little. Might have to trim the case, or the blades, But I think he probly has enuf space.. Althou I couldnt drive a car without AC.. Not to mention, once he takes out the old intercooler, he can put in a full size radiator thats 2 or 3 cores, and maybe a side by side cooling fan system.

if this has anytthing to do with the lack of valance that was currently off the car then LOL..... other wise... the car runs cold all the time, doesnt ever get above 1/4, and i drove it yesterday with the i.c installed and still the same still runs cool (a tad bit warmer (maybe a tick)

ya there is space in there for a bigger fan, once i find on i may slap one in.

nothing to do with your valence  :icon_rolleyes: , has to do with one less fan and a big hunk of aluminium in front of the rad....
