how thick is the metal on intercoolers (or yours specifically)? they have little 'combs' for radiators. i've never "tested" to see how sturdy intercooler fins were.

The important thing is how deep is the damage? If it's just on the surface you can fix it with an exacto knife and a lot of patience. just bend them back into place. It won't be perfect, but it's better than nothing.

yup that's it ocelot. You can use anything thin enough to gently pry each individual fin back into place. It looked as though someone dropped a ratchet or something on mine when I got er but I used an awl and it looks almost good as new. Hell a nail or tiny flat screw driver orsomething will even do.
