yes, good idea. I maybe interested later in buying one but until I run this one I won't know if I need to go for the top Aussie stuff.
Cheers Steve

Piping for intercoolers is expensive is it not?

Depends on the complexity.

If you pass the pipe work 2.5" either side of the radiator (have to cut holes) the run of pipe work will be fairly basic. You could do most of it yourself.

I picked mine up for $100 off boost cruising sales section. If you read PWR's technical information you will see that they know most Chinese knockoffs are very good. Yes they do have a great product but you pay a premium price for something which may be no better than a cheaper version. Jap parts? or some other online site has a wide range of coolers. I will endeavour to post the site details back here when I find them. Here is a pic of my set up which is positioned for optimum airflow and piping.

Maybe Dave, you could post up a pic with the pipework in place.

That's pretty close to how I want to set it up. Have you got a full frontal pic and a side pic, ideally with the spoiler in place? I'm not quite sure where you will run the pipework but I want to use the holes where the water res bottles sit on each side as you dont have to cut into the radiator support. I also want to hide it as much as possible behind the spoiler, whilst still getting airflow...If that's how you're doing it then good work and I'd like to follow how this progresses...
Looking forward to you finding those site details too, I've got a couple of coolers to buy. Was it new? Sure looks like it is.

I will start a new thread in the technical section on intercooler set ups. Give me a day to fill it up with details and pics. Dave will have a heap as well I am sure. And yes it was brand new for $100, bargain!

We will need minimum of 5.
I'll see if there is any more interest over the next 2 weeks.
