Great write-up BTW.

With the very large size of the SD Cooler, the stock cooler isn't needed anymore. All the stock cooler would really accomplish is creating more restriction.

Everything went well except for the intercooler fluid shower! hahaha That crap shot everywhere when we disconnected the hose to make room for the new line. I was seeing around 145 deg. on I-95 heading back to NC. And when in town I was seeing around 150-155 deg. Not bad at all. Very good How-To write up too, I like all the step by step pics you posted! Once again, thank you for helping a fellow Soldier and friend out.

No problem bro.

I'm glad you're happy with it. I had fun helping you install it and it was great meeting you. Next time I'll come up there.

I suppose we could. It's just more expensive to use more of the SS hose and it's really not necessary since the hard tube has the same ID as the braided hose.

Awesome as usual Spencer.

ZZZZAP · 10-06-2007, 10:22 AM

as usual, awesome writeup! Makes me want to replace everything in the engine bay with beautiful SS braided hose and AN fittings...

Awesome write up Spencer.
