Love that intercooler. Do u have specs on it?

I keep eyeing up drop kits but this the 3/5 is to much for what I want.

Small update, I have been getting pictures from the shop this week and looks like it's going awesome, seeing as though this is a fully custom hot side I think it's coming along really nicely, should be done next week, can't freaking wait!

Oh, don't you love all the rust? Darn Canadian winters!!

Crossover and downpipe, also see where the cutout will be. There will be a vband here and then there will be a cat pipe from here to the exhaust flange so the cutout will be right before the cat, which is what you want of course.

With this turbo placement makes for a pretty easy charge pipe

Only thing not in the pics is the wastegate which will be just before the turbo and vented back into the downpipe.

What do you guys think?

I can get some specs but I don't think we'll be keeping this one too long since it's "too long" lol we're going to experiment with a cooler of similar size but will be vertical flow which should perform better than this one.

I got the drop kit pretty cheap from my buddy's shop so I jumped on it especially since there's flexibility with changing the height front and rear which is what I wanted.
