I did after they were welded together and they were fine. Yes they are ebays. I cant afford to buy $2000 custom intercoolers. They say they are rated at 1000 hp each which I know cant be true but they are probably good for 1200 together. They are actually pretty good quality from what I can tell.

I have had ebay intercoolers myself. I know they work. Its just a little different story when you run a2w cores. Cant wait to see some results!

I have about 8 inchs between the intercooler and the radiator so that air can easily be directed up into it like the stock air dam. There "shouldnt be" any cooling problems but you know that that goes with FI.

Nice. Where are you going to mount the coolers for it? Are you going to run two coolers and pumps or a single cooler and big pump?

One big tank with one big pump and Y off the lines to the intercoolers. The tank will be mounted in the trunk for added wieght over the rear tires.
