Whilst looking at ebay I came across an alternative intercooler setup:

um sertanly a weird one, new to me, but surely the air going into the carb is still going to get hot because the intercooler is before the turbo. and why is he trying to cool down air thats allready cold from the air filter. maybe he got confused whilst putting it in?

It will need 200 bananas to even get it moving with all that plastic and ice bolted to it. Seems to be nicely enough put together, just not for me.

y lol, theres been a very balanced view in this thread, actually i think its way in his favour with many comments like 'each to thier own', 'he has done his best', 'Seems to be nicely enough put together, just not for me.' etc etc

I think we want to avoid having our wrists slapped, but i bet theres been a load of 'BAC's behind the scene :)

Bacause squish area would be increased and you can run higher static compression without increasing the risk of detonation, that's why!

I'll refer you guys to this aswell:

The original message was about an intercooler. That is what the post is about, not the rest of the motor... *wink*
