Hi, because of the greater number of people doing intercoolers, or asking, I thought I would share what I got so far. I am waiting for the plumbing to come in to hook it all up. I used a custom built bar and plate (I think its called) with a 2.5" thick core, about 9" tall and about 21" wide. Inlet/outlet are 2.5" I would get a core that was 2" thick if I was to do it again. I had to cut out the hood latch mechanism to fit the cooler, but was able to save the secondary hood lock mechanism. I used a pair of locking hood latches to hold down, and secure the hood. I keep the locks taped since they are exposed to the elements. Had to cut out a bit on both sides of the radiator to make room and entry points to the engine compartment. I plan on rotating the compressor section about 180 degrees so as to be pointing downward and to the pass. side. This will hopefully allow for less bends going from the compressor section to the intake side of the cooler. Still will need to do some sort of transition from a 2" outlet to a 2.5" cooler inlet pipe size. Will need to fab up a new mount for the bypass valve. The other side will be a little more of a challenge for the routing. I will post again when finally done. Don't know if the intercooler is too big for this turbo or not.

I don't know what this intercooler will flow unfortunately. The guys I had orderd this from did not seem to know much about intercoolers. I had thought about an intercooler like yours, but the way the plumbing works on the 13B-T I thougth it better to have a in one side and out the other instead of on both. I have found a source states side for asortment of plumbing called turbohoses.com. How thick a core is yours?
