Procharger Intercooler on Vortech?!
Hey guys i have a Vortech T-Trim and i have an anderson power pipe and i am in the market for an intercooler!!! I was wandering if the Procharger 3-core will work with the vortech... if so i am choosing between that and then paxton intercooler! Any input will be excellant!!

I'm pretty sure you can "make" it work. But the results may not be great. I would just get a Vortech Aftercooler

Where are you finding the paxton intercooler?

im pretty sure you can get the Paxton A/A Intercooler from MPH. thats what i would go with personally...i think its mostly a direct fit. the Procharger intercooler might need more fabrication to make it work.

There is no reason to buy the very expensive paxton/ati cooler. Just get a ebay bar and plate (must be bar and plate) cooler and pipping kit. If you can cut the pipping yourself (just need a sawzall etc) you can put the entire kit together for under 500 bucks.

I think a DIY kit would be the best bet. The pipe fabrication would be a little tricky I think. If I'm not mistaken the vortech's discharge points at the passenger side of the engine bay and kinda up toward the hood right? The procharger points down and towards the driver side of the engine bay and the piping wraps around the front of the radiator and back around up thru the fenderwell into the t/b. Yeah, the piping would be the only issue.

The pipping isn't hard to do, it comes in prebent sections with different angles (in a ebay kit that is). All you do is cut the straight parts to the right lenghts.
