Intercooler plumbing

The turbo and intake plenum are now plumbed and connected. Below you can see how the compressor output is routed into the compartment in the left pontoon (where the carbon canister used to sit), and in there - although not visible in this picture - is where the intercooler and fan is located. The fan operation is controlled by the ECU and is based on intake air temperature and engine load. I really like the cone shaped K&N filter; I believe Ed will add a chromed/polished shield around it as well.

The turbo is now "stuffing" air into the intake, like it's supposed to
The plumbing will be routed through the fascia and bumper and completely out of sight when everything is said and done.
Once that's is done, then Ed will move on to the exhaust.

  1. Question about the intercooler - how do you get air over it in the pylon? Do you have any pics of it in there? How did you get it in there?

  2. I was impressed by the speedy response and follow through, as well as the professional and polite way associate handled the plumbing problem. Our worry was quickly turned into satisfaction.
