Default AU Intercooler set up?
I'm hoping to run an intercooler for the s/c ' IF ' i don't have to cut into the car itself, so is there a specific size cooler i can use and piping set up that will work?

Not alot have from what ive found haha...

Found a few different setups via google and various forums, main difference between them all being piping.

Check out the streetbuilt xr8 setup, hoping to have mine very much the same.

Yeah nice set up, if only the AU manifold ran in the opposite side like that Trickflow type then the piping would be alot easier.

Ok, didn't know you could do that but i would still need to relocate the battery and cut into the car for the piping which i don't want so i've changed my mind on this. Check my other thread to see what i'm hopefully going to do

Blueoval runs a W2A cooler. he's got it sitting over his extractors with a heat plate to protect it. might b worth PMing him about it as he has a few ideas he'd do differently if he did it again

Speaking with the tuner we've gone over all the different types of cooling options and we feel the intercooler style is the better option at this stage, not saying the W2A or Water/Meth inj don't work it's just something we both agree on tuning wise and driving wise.
