KeithRobinson · 20-11-2009, 21:28

daddy cav · 20-11-2009, 21:33

Mines quite big but only using standard turbo .

I think it hides well .

Jamie_Hastings1 · 20-11-2009, 21:34

Its a close one Keith

pitstoppete · 20-11-2009, 21:37

mines in the back, the rad for it is in the front, no lag and uber cool intake temps.

sneakycorsa · 20-11-2009, 21:41

Mines hidden when it's parked in the garage & the doors down does that count

MattJ · 20-11-2009, 21:41

seriously, whats the point in having a big intercooler if 3/4's of it is covered up and getting no airflow?

sbd16vastra · 20-11-2009, 21:42

keith im impressed although i get the feeling you might have a small one

now you see it

now you dont notice it

KeithRobinson · 20-11-2009, 21:44

Mine gets good airflow from the standard "scoop" on the GSI bumper, and a little from the grill lol. Mine is the full size from the slam to the cross member and full width too.

Jamie_Hastings1 · 20-11-2009, 21:46

Mines is only a Frontera one. Only gets the airflow from the bottom grill which i will admit is not alot.

KeithRobinson · 20-11-2009, 21:50

Only photo I have of mine really...

You can see the rad higher up behind here:

And the rad from the underside

sbd16vastra · 20-11-2009, 21:51

do you have a heat sheild between your turbo and fan ?

Jamie_Hastings1 · 20-11-2009, 21:52

Wheres your oil cooler Keith?

KeithRobinson · 20-11-2009, 21:53
