I will be posting pics soon of my Intercooler install...
I got a BRAND NEW Intercooler for FREE so it's going on.

It's a Saab 9-5 Intercooler...
About 15" square & 3" thick!! with 2.5" inlet/outlets...
Fits perfect infront of the radiator...
Should work great w/ VERY little pressure drop...

I'll post pics as the install develops.

Can you make sure to post before and after readings of intake charge temp, boost pressure and horsepower?

Doesn't matter what brand of intercooler you install, you will loose at the min 1.5psi of boost, so expect that to happen, but you should gain it back with colder air.

Not neccessarily true...
The TRUST intercooler i used on my civic was more than twice the size of this one...
Pressure drop was slightly less than 1psi...
Guess we'll find out soon enough...
