In Reply to: The Max... where are you goin to put your turbo??? How much piping work??? posted by Steve on June 17, 2002 at 18:35:54:

I'm definitely throwing in an intercooler. At 25 PSI, you need one, without a doubt! Seriously, anything above 7 PSI, from what I've seen, needs an intercooler.

The one thing I was told by my MoTeC dealer was that the air con and radiator will suffer from the heat dispersed by the intercooler since it's right at the front spewing heat to the A/C radiator and then the coolant radiator. Sounds like a nice theory but I'm actually mounting it such that the radiators will not be obscured by the intercooler.

Picture our front bumpers. You have the coloured portion up top, where you registration plate sits and all. Then you have the black portion immediately underneath that where you have your spot light mounts, etc. Since I have nothing in that area, I'm mounting an intercooler that will span the entire width of the bumper with a relatively short height. It will basically be just above the jacking point on the chassis so it doesn't receive any serious abuse.

Pipework .... we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. First you get the components and mount them where you like, then you start swearing when it's time to do pipework 3#-)
