I remember a couple years ago, Allen (Nelson Performance) had a pt1000 a2w on his avalanche. I saw it in person at this shop and it was small and easy to package under the hood of a truck. Asked how he liked it and he said it worked very good. The pt1000 is supposed to be good to 1000 hp, and most don't make that anyway. I don't see him on here much anymore but it would be cool if he could chime in on this setup.

This is a pt2000 on mine. It's big. Placement is in the dash with the inlet/outlet throught the fire wall. Mounting wouldn't work on a truck with a/c. I would think my mounting solution would be out of the realm of this thread, but you asked for pics so here ya go:

You know, Bosch Cobra pumps are great for this application. I built a W2A system for a Volvo and it worked but we used Pentosin coolant and a Bait fish pump(for its corrosion resistant properties and flow rate) which brought IAT's down so much more than A2A. The pump died and we are going to use the cobra pump and a massive 4" thick HX that is used I think for the mustangs and what not. That pump scavenges so it makes mounting much nicer. I had to make it's home in the corner of the bumper and make sure it stayed upright. Bleeding it was a 2 hour adventure. If I had the cash and time, I would put the HD bumper with the large cut in the center, stuff a massive HX in, put dual fans on and make a cowl to direct the incoming air directly to the HX. I got the idea when I found barely used carbon fiber cowls and such for coolers off Nascar bodies. Few ideas rattled off...

I thought about something like that, behind the bumper but that's where my A2A is now and I can see where it has been hit off road. If I put it in the back I would hit the body before the cooler. I don't off-road it hard core but I do like to go play. I don't think mud will get in it, I've never had to wash any off in that area anyway
