Hey guys...what do you know about using a stock SR intercooler with its piping...what exactly needs to be modified to make it work? I would think (as do most of the people I've asked) that the hotpipe and the majority of the cold pipe are the same...its just where it connects to the intake manifold thats different?

Has anyone used, or seen this used, anywhere? I searched but found nothing:help

Thanks guys:D

wife's car uses an ARC replacemnt sidemount intended for an SR. You have to do a little bracketwork if you don't get the SR mounts for the intercooler but it's pretty much a dropin. You have the crossover pipe that runs from the intercooler to throttlebody right?

:evilhaha mwahahahaha!

(no he's just upgraded his intercooler and piping...)

I'm also getting his radiator fan shroud...do you think it'll work with the CA? the KA one apparently doesn't...
