Really Snazzy V-mount setup
Upgraded Intercooler 24x12x4". was going to go front mount, wanted a different look, went with V-Mount. Told my friend what i wanted, custom V-mount setup, did a great job with god-like ducting. comment....

Looks good but before you claim god-like status you might wanna fix all the "little" imperfections like sealing off the area at the "V" section and completely sealing up the sides rather than only going half way up on the ducting.
and maybe fab a god-like bracket for your dangling AST....
Great start though! The intercooler looks like it fits perfectly

Considering a front mount intercooler had to be modified by redoing the endtanks to fit 3in. o.d. tube and the fans rewired to blow up through the bottom of the radiator, taking a race application and making it into a fully functional streetable use, It seemed to turn out great. Thats why there is a gap in the rear, plus the upper radiator hose clearance will not allow for a rear ducting plate to be fabbed up between there. oh and I almost forgot, this was not some half *** kit you buy online. I know the guy who did this, and for not knowing a lot about cars in general, and just having 2 magazine pictures and input from friends to go by, that guy can sure produce a nice end result in a weeks time.... Just a thought to all the critics on here. No one will ever have the perfect setup or perfect car. But we all sure do try...

Then fill it with foam, or fabricate a v-shaped panel that attaches to the side ducts. I won't argue that it isn't better than the stocker, but it could use some finishing.

you're not going to make any friends on this forum by triple-post thread spamming and pointless smiley face posts.

Still got it.

when are people going to start calculating inter cooler core size to their turbo specs.
Looks good, but bigger cores cause lag.
Pre-turbo AI + calculated IC cores = Maximum cooling efficiency & turbo responsiveness.
Not trying to be smug.
It looks great, but I'd change the name.

This was my thought as well.... If so and it is blowing up through the rad, then it needs rewired back to stock... It should PULL air from the "V" section and force the hot air out from under the car. This clears it away from the engine bay as well further helping under hood temps.
