Default s197 Supercharged Intercool Question

Hey guys

I have an 06 Mustang GT Vortech V2 system non intercooled

Has anyone found any good deals on an intercooler for this system.

Im looking for something cheap. I am on stock boost.

All the intercoolers i see go from 900-1200 and i cant afford that right now

I heard some good things about the CX Racing intercoolers, might want to check them out.

Personally, I am holding out and getting a Paxton air to air.. gonna cost me much bucks, but it's all good. It'll be worth the wait IMO.

Not bad for a 100whp boost

With an intercooler, you can re-tune to run more boost

^^ yup, those ones. They actually have their own site.

A few people use them on this forum. I thought about getting one myself just to see how well they do. They'll do alot better than the scolding hot intake discharge I am blowing into the motor when it gets hot, thats for sure lulz.

Sure beats the $2k price tag of the Paxton...

Cheap things cost too much.

Do it once, do it right.

Research, plan, impliment.

this is my e-bay itercooler & pipes for 175.00 , also had to buy a couple additional couplers for 30.00 and aluminum L bracket for 8.00. it works fantastic , I went with 2.5 " pipe . but 3" might b better for ya
