Show off your intercooler and plumbing

I'm really not interested in running that as a band aid. I just wanted to know if this info was correct? He basically said the heat exchanger isn't needed unless you are gonna road race this thing. Street strip cars dont spend enough time in boost on the street to create enough heat to require using one. Just put a hobbs switch on a pipe and use it to activate the IC pump at 3 or 4 psi. Use a double pole double throw switch, use tge hobbs on one side and wire it directly the other. Street mode one way, race mode the other.

I was describing a set up like urs mad dart

Even on a street car you will get a lot of heat soak in your cold side plumbing, About as hot as your engine compartment, Just sitting in traffic will get you way hot and then the first time you get a chance to stretch it out when you get moving it will get even hotter ( compressing air only makes it hotter ) With some sort of intercooler you will be able to run more base ( initial ) timing and more total ( full advance ) much more streetable and fun to drive and less likely to over heat on a hot day even more MPG"S. If you have to retard the timing to say 12 Degrees under boost It will spool the turbo easily with that much combustion heat, But wont make as much power as it would with 14 degrees. CHARGE COOLER GOOD ! :cheers:
