Front-mount intercooler:
An intercooler is an
important part of a turbo system. Granted, that on low boost
systems, it is not as crucial as on high boost applications, the
cooler the air temperature: the better the engine runs, the more
horsepower it will make, the less the chances will be for
detontation, and the more reliable the motor will be in the long
run. Let's not overlook the fact that the car will look
infinitely better with it too!
Many thanks again to Dan Dunhem who hooked me up with this IC. It was purchased used for the bargain price of $85. It doesn't look too bad, does it? It was rather nasty when it arrived. A little Mother's Stainless and Aluminum Polish and an hour or two of scrubbing and the entire thing shined up like a new penny. Although you can't see it very well in this photo, the end caps now have a mirror finish on them.
