Default Thinking about running my Intercooler like this

Found this today while looking at different setups.
Thinking about doin something like that with the Turbo. Just need a 90* off the turbo and then two 90*s from the IC to the TB.
And can just run the IC lines to the Heater core.

Never seen one like this.

I like that idea looks good. How big of a heat exchanger are you gonna run? Just wondering if being that close to the motor will inhibit the ability to cool the charge?

What is your current intercooler Nonnie?

An IAT test/results would be cool ( hehe)

I like how you guys here lately are thinking outside the box, we must be bored LOL!

We did one mounted on drivers side.
Might be in the all the cold water you want.
If you put it on the passenger side with the turbo on passenger side.
You will want to have a thermal barrier around your ic.

Are you going to be running a log manifold on the passenger side or a rear mount? Do A2W intercoolers have to be relatively horizontal or does it matter?
