I think that the finned side of the intercooler is meant to face forward. The fins direct the air through the intercooler instead of around it.

I'm just going to stick with that side being the front. Since apparently neither of us know, it's a 50/50 shot. LOL. Bump, though... I'm sure NismoFreak will have some better information.

Is this just a core, or does it have outlets. If it has outlets, are they the same size, or is one larger than the other?
