well there is "no need" to use a intercooler on a turbocharged car but it is still a good idea :) Knock safety and lower intake temps making more power is always a good thing.

its a supercharged setup matt... so no, he doesn't need an intercooler I guess...

but my main issue is:

B.) where and how would you mount/plumb it?

this ain't just gonna bolt up and go!;)

slw, i think ive got the chip covered, but im definately gonna need to get them. just gotta make a little more money since i wasnt planning on buying an safcII at this point in time. but there ya have it, i was told it wasnt really a question of if i needed it or not, but that it was just something i needed to have. so i got it. gimme a week and i should have the money. ill go see what ive got left tomorrow, maybe ive got enough.

by the way, i know ive read it a million times, but what do the 370s max out at? for a while i may just be on 14psi with the t25 w/ a fmic, metal head gasket, intake, exhaust, maybe some cams, an ecu and an safcII, so even though it makes no difference, since i cant pass that deal up, would they be necessary?

thanks, tim

What the hell you talkin about, it, all about zip ties............he he No really though I havn't looked around very hard for plumbing, but that seems to be the biggest challenge. I wish there was a place that sold different angles and couplers like regular plumbing then you could just buy like 2 ninties, and a fiew straight pipes and hook it all up. Other than that a couple properly bent brackets spot welded to the body and your in businrss
