Don't know! I run one from day one when I got the turbo so can't comment but when the fan is running it is noticeably cooler on the side to inlet manifold.
I have been waiting for close to two months now for a cross country for my 1HD-FT, I hope its worth the wait compared to the HPD unit.
here is a question, does a intercooler lower EGT by lowering the intake temp, or is it because the cooler air is more dense, so its like adding more PSI to raise A/F ratio?

Yes
It took me 4 months to get mine made. Happy I waited tho
I like your bare foot driving. My wife hates it when I do that, but I do it anyway on principal.
Nath, the cross country intercooler arrived today for my 1HD-FT, 280 x 300 x 75mm with a 10in 708cfm spal fan, and the larger size scoop similar to yours. Do you have a pic of how they cut and finished off the sound deadening under the bonnet?
I am going to have to take a couple of deep breaths before attacking a mint bonnet with a saw
Cheers

Getting into a bonnet with a grinder is scary as, use one of those nice 1mm blades and tape and paper mask everything off, even the glass. The Sparks will burn through paint and etch glass if you let it.
Tim, that looks like the scoop that came with my intercooler, I had thought of using a reciprocating saw to cut it, but yes ill be covering everything if I resort to the grinder
Grinder
I used a chalk string, it's honestly not all that bad.

Cover your winsheild with a blanket or something or you can etch it with the grinding sparks... dont ask me how I know...bahh
I marked the bonnet off then cut the hole. I don't have the sound deadening on mine but I'm thinking of getting that stick on dinamat stuff and useing that. You got yours quick mine took 4 months
I'm going to dynamat my bonnet underneath as well (soon as I get a minute)
the boost fitting hit the throttle cable mount, cross country are sending me a 90deg fitting tho shortened it for now. Also had to shorten the studs.
The fan seems to move quite a bit of air for its size, and I couldn't hear it from inside the car. The bonnet cut and scoop mount is tomorrows job
How come u didn't get the big one seajay ?
The small one looked like it fitted up neater, and was $600+ cheaper, the car has heaps of power even without an intercooler after Graeme fitted a badboy turbo, XXi airbox, and tuned the pump, this one will do me power wise or I will leave a trail of blown transmission and diff parts behind me
Yer true. I will probably be changing to the new style xxi one next year. With what they have done with the 1hz They absolutely crack now
No doubt the xxi one is better, but 3 times the price of this one, and I didn't want to interfere with the factory trans cooler.
Voila!
Now I have to weld the fitting for the A/F meter and retune it
