would there be an advantage of making dual custom fmic's? i wouldnt think that would help. do tt cars even have stock ic's? this guy is like the one off the video with the extra pistons MORONS

all facotry turbo'd cars have IC's...they have to. no, having 2 IC's is a waste of money and will drop psi more than needed unless it's a twin turbo setup w/ an IC for each turbo... i've seen that on a 350z in a mag. still un needed though

i don't know why they mount the radiators and intecoolers horizontally to be honest.

The Typhoon/Syclone didn't have IC's, the eighties turbo Buicks (Skylarks) and I think even Grand National/T-type Buicks as well, but I could be wrong about them. I don't think the late 70's early 80's Turbo Firebirds had IC's. If the GN's didn't have IC's, neither did the late 80's GTA Trans Am's. I guess you are noticing the trend...

edit: Starting in 86, the Grand Nationals had air-to-air intercoolers, so the 88 (?) GTA's must of had them too.

i was refering to tuner cars.... larger engined cars have larger turbod' that don't need them b/c of the cooler ambient air.

Grand Nationals (3.8L) aren't tuner cars..?

You said "all factory turbo'd cars have intercoolers", I was simply disputing that statement.

Note: Some factory Turbo'd Daytona's (2.2L) didn't have intercoolers...
