You heard right. It's not a very "efficient" intercooler, in that it's hard for the turbo to push air through it. IIRC when you try to stuff too much air through a G60 IC, you end up seeing a 5-8psi loss across the IC. A better choice would be a saab intercooler. Sorry I can't elaborate more, but I have seen a ton of people using them in their turbo projects. You also may be able to get one off of a ford thunderbird. _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
