it is thicker, and taller as well the dims are 19w x 22 h, which is a common size. double pass, 1.25" per pass

smokin,
replied to your PM, it looks like your intercooler would work just the way it is, the air enters on the side you have towards the frame doesnt it, if you stand it up you could get it in there just like it is.

its kind of hard to explain in words
thanks

Default wastegate install

Smoke,

I was looking at your pics (very nice). But you may want double check the way you installed your ProGate. The inlet is the bottom and the outlet is the side. Like I said, I am looking at pics not at the actual car. Maybe I am missing something.

Good luck on finishing.

Will the oil return, or will you need something to help that, I can't tell how high the turbo sits? Looks killer, how many you wanna make.....?

I am looking at the instructions that came with my Turbosmart Progate and it shows the exhaust gas flows in the opposite direction of your drawing. Please double check though. I can fax you a copy of that page of the instructions if need be. Please don't take this as critisisim, I am just trying to help. Jose would know also, I bought if from him.

Thanks.
