Does this guy understand the concept of heat exchange?? how the heck is the intercooler going to be efficient located where it is.
Good on him for giving this a go by himself though!

just having an intercooler at all will lower your intake air temps. the air coming out of the turbo is HOT! (especially with a small compressor wheel pushing a lot of boost) even with a little airflow it will cool the charge a lot.

eh thats alright. i have seen alot better setups. he would save alot of space and get more power if he put the intercooler up front.
