Thats pretty cool, I like the twin intercooler its different. Is there any negative effects to running a twin intercooler on a single setup? Pressure drop etc. Or does it not make a difference?

When I swapped a set of twin intercoolers on my personal car, I actually picked up 1.5 psi of boost, and lowered the inlet temps.


Talk about a great looking build!!! Can't wait to see more progress!!!
