Re: Lower Intercooler Interest.
Well don´t count me in any more.
I already have one for myself.
21,5"x 3"x 8" lower CAC
When I'm going to install it, I'll post some pics
================================================================
because some of you need the pics or can't wait.

Got some installation pics now. updated 1-9-2008
THIS IS ONE option. A/W intercooler in stock lower bracket.
Altering the bracket and so on will take about 4 hours when you are not prepped (well I did, just started without any knowledge),
so it is possible when you have al your tools ready to do this in about 1.5H.
what tools are needed:
medium screw driver for the hose clambs and IC pump.
philips screw driver for unscrewing the CAC frame parts.
wrenches to (un)bold the CAC frame
some sort of cutting tool, a grinder would be the best option.
drill for just 4 holes of 5mm
cutting plyer for just cutting the ty bands on the hoses
and finally a hamer when it does not fit, HIT IT HARD untill it fits
At this moment I'm making something like a tech describtion / how to do list, with pics but it takes some time to finish it.
NEW AND OLD
NEW AND OLD
UPGRADED WITH A JOHNSON PUMP IN THE STOCK PLACE
WHAT TO ALTER ON THE CAC BRACKET IS:
cut away the edge at the bottom of the CAC frame
drill 4 new fixing holes to bold the frames together again.
The plastic stock level sensor on the top right has to be replaced with a 3/8 level switch.
ALTERED CAC FRAME FINISHED
the flaps on the right and left cut away to fit in the new radiator so it doesn't obstruct the airflow.
FIT FIRST BEFORE YOU GONNA REPIANT THE CAC FRAME
HOW IT WAS, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE NEW CAC IS HIGHER AND MUCH WIDER THAN ORIGINAL and it doesn't leak any more.
But also heavier than stock.
================================================== ===============
SECOND OPTION:
there is another option and that is that we throw the lower CAC bracket away and make an even wider radiator with fastening brackets welded to the radiator
in combination with an air scoop and aux.pump bracket.
The radiator then can be about 23.5"long x 4" x 10" high and that in combination with a larger (WALLER) upper IC and weve got a lot of coolling power.
