Re: small inter cooler

Why do you have the intake side go all the way down there? You should have it shoot straight into the intake manifold.

Re: small inter cooler

You could put 2 small IC instead of 1 big, like in this pic:

Re: small inter cooler

Those aren't 2 seperate intecoolers. Those are oil coolers. But yes it is possible to use 2 small intercooler but you have to have an intake pipe connecting the 2 since you have a single turbo.

I'll e-mail you a re-vised pic of yours if you want. LMK.

You could always make it an air-to-water intercooler. That set up is a little heavier but works well for small spaces. If you do that, you can make a small intercooler (and, as a bonus, it will just look like a box with pipes coming in and out so you won't have to cut the R32 intercooler) and all you would need to complete it would be another small one, similar to a radiator, that you could mount anywhere.
