I found this intercooler http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TURBO...65870708QQrdZ1 on ebay do you think it will be worth it to make it work with a vortech? I can do all the pipe work

 

if you can do all the custom pipe work, then yeah, get it. it'd be MUCH cheaper in the long run for you to fabricate your own.

 

no dont bother with it. didnt you post this in 4.6? youre gonna have to break down and get the vortech aftercooler, used might be cheaper.

 

screw that. MD from this board, when he wasn't banned, did a custom intercooler setup and it only ran him a total of $500 or less. i forget the exact numbers. if you have the time and know-how, i'm all for the custom setup. even used aftercoolers will run you about a grand.

 

Don't forget the paxton air to air, its a little cheaper.

If someone figures out how to use one of these I would be highly interested, I cannot figure out how to get it done without bending the piping myself, and that seems like it could be a nightmare.

 

you can buy prebent tubes and just cut and weld yourself.

 

I too have been looking for a front mounted intercooler solution for my Vortech. Ebay has these universal intercooler pipes but I dont trust ebay products for my engine. If anyone has done this.... please speak up!
