Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Forced Induction intercooler vs. more boost

Dude, there are some things that you obviously aren't aware of. I said approximately $800 as I am not for sure on the price, but its close. Anyway, that $ will buy you the air-water intercooler, the heat exchanger, the reservoir and all the hose, fittings and clamps.
On our cars there is literally no room to put it anywhere but in the currently used location, right in front of the throttle body. This requires special angles on the tanks and you can't just go and buy one. It will always be custom made for our cars. There is no room for an air-air intercooler on the SVT, period unless you have a different front bumper setup and probably hood setup as well; but stock there is no room for anything else. Several of us tried it and this was the only reasonable way to do it.
Taking all that into consideration, the price is about right for the the security and performance that this intercooler gives on a boosted 10:1 motor.
