twin turbo intercooler i am looking for a twin turbo intercooler that i can mount behind the front bumper. i really do not want to mount it in front of the rad because i currently have allot of overheating issues with my single turbo, the intercooler just hogs all the air.
please let me know what kind of intercooler you are using and how it is working out for you.

Id be more concerned with finding out why your car is oveheating ?
My radiator is crap, too small, and almost totally blocked by my intercooler which is now 4.5" thick, sitting less than 2" from my radiator.
And for the most part, my cooling system can cope. I most certainly wouldnt mount an intercooler behind a radiator.

my car overheats because i have a huge transmission cooler in front of the rad and i have an intercooler in front of that. i want to move the intercooler to where the license plate is on the front bumper, that way it gets cold air and does not block anything.

youre car is an underfeeder for air. toss in the stock deflector and you shouldnt have any issues if all youre underplastic is in place. its intention was to direct air towards the rad. a FMIC shouldnt cause any overheating issues with blocking air unless youre IC is horizontal

my plan is to remove the intercooler and mount it like this
but the problem is that i am switching to a twin turbo set up this winter and i need an intercooler with two inlets on each side and one outlet that comes out at the top in the middle
like this
but i have no idea if it will fit in the place i want it too. i think the outlet will be a problem.

I would highly recommend getting yourself one made by Spearco. They have alot of selections to work with. I've had one custom made for me on another project vehicle and it was great...they have templates to work with so it's easy to design one for your application. You can source them from Turbonetics. I'll send you a PM with their link.
