12HT Top Mount Intercooler install and assistance

Cool any idea what size yours is?? Or if anyone out there that's done it can suggest a size to look for. Also will an eBay job work ok or am I better off coughing up some $$$ to get a brand name printed on it??

As for size I just made sure it came off another 6 cylinder turbo. You can pick up a IC on eBay fairly cheap, then you just need to made a inlet pipe like mine, buy some rubber hoses and make brackets to fit, $300 at the most

Yeah that's the plan at this stage I think thanks spud. Have you played with boost and fuel yet

Another question for the boffins can you run a front mount intercooler as a top mount??

I've put in a adjustable boost gauge, so now the boost comes in a lot quicker, nothing with the fuel at this stage

Yes, both work on exactly the same principles of cold air induction through the grills

Does it have any affect on engine noise?

I cant speak on behalf of spud but in my case no. And mine is easy twice the size of spuds

Cool. Was wondering since roadability will probably be somewhat of an issue for me.
Gets to be 110 F frequently in the summer and a lot of driving at 5-9k feet, thinking an intercooler might do wonders.
