that easy huh? i thought it was going to require some sort or air test. so basically fill it up, turn it upside down, shake it a little, and hope that nothing leaks out?

yup, or you can tap a point before the intercooler and after... hook up two boost gauges and test the pressure drop.
|
followup question: how would i dry out the intercooler before reinstalling it on my car?
should i let it sit and air dry? or blow air through it? or does it even matter if there is a little moisture in it? thanks. |

lol, just shake it dry, a little water isnt gonna hurt your engine
remember tho, if you shake it more than twice your playing with it!` |
haha. thanks for the quick response and the good advice. i'll make sure to shake no more than twice. :mspank: :mspank:
