A2W intercoolers?

i'm running between 20 and 22 #'s of boost and it's a spearco intercooler that was supposedly good for 1000hp. the only air i had going to it was from the fog lights, so i built a duct above the i/c and a scoop below it to see if it just wasn't getting enough air. helped a little, but still above 200*. here's what it looks like.
That is a nice size air to air intercooler. I think your biggest issue is air flow to the intercooler. Don't expect a air to air i/c to work properly with no air flow to cool the core. We had issues with a corvette with a different front end and we used three small compressor cooling fans with shrouding and the air temps dropped over 100 degrees

I showed Jose this post yesterday after you posted your boost pressures. First thing he said was "the cooler is fine, the turbo is done". He said a 76GTS at 21psi on a 383 is at the choke limit already. That is part of the reason why the IAT's are so high. After he ran the numbers on his spreadsheet, that turbo should be outputting close to 350-400 deg's at the discharge. ....that's a lot of heat for even a big cooler to bring down.
1INSANEGTO, would you mind shooting me a pm with that link? I forgot to bookmark the page, and now the link is gone so I cant get back to it 
BTW, smokinhawk... Its spelled sponsor, not sponser

Those who pmed me I sent you the link. Everything works great I am even running the gauges on my setup. I have a friend who is running the BOV and I built a complete intercooler setup for a sts kit i had for less the $300.00
