Your turbo intake is wild with all that welding

A major cooling load is done by the oil system, ensure your oil system is cooling well and all heat exchangers are ducted as best as you can.

The inlet ducts of the heat exchanges can be smaller than the heat exchanger surface area.

remember that all this work only works if you are moving, and usually at higher speeds.
i like it, i have very similar setup but with a smaller IC, and i only have a single oil cooler. i just had it at the track last weekend and ran great, making about 300whp. intake temps stay under 130F, that was at 90F ambient. no overheating problems.. temps will slowly climb to 200F when the fans kick on, but will quickly drop back down. im running mostly water as coolant with some kool-it added for corrosion resistance

non-vented hood. the air is ducted to teh coolers, but i have no separator between IC and radiator, seems to be ok without it

^ v-mount and battery moved to the RIGHT , well that's definitely an interesting setup.

I think everyone learned that relocating the battery and move the intercooler to the left to let more intake air for the turbo/turbos is the way to go .

I did see somewhere a bigger hot side piping on a custom intercooler, it makes sense as one wants as much hot air as possible to be cooled.

Guys, great simple Vmount solutions. Agreed it's the way to go. Again, just wondering if anyone has attempted it with stock ECU, low boost and nearly stock exhaust path.
