Additional intercooler for a maggie? If i am reading correctly, the maggie comes with an intercooler. I think it is built into it. However, i have been reading that heat soak is a problem with Roots blowers, and IAT is higher on a maggie then a procharger. So is it possible to add an additional intercooler to a maggied car? Such as the intercoller that comes with the procharger?
I am also going to have meth injection on there as well.

ok. i havwe not seen it yet, it was ordered for me. What does the heat exchanger\intercooler look like? Looking at ads for the maggie (like on tbyrne's site), it says this.. "intercooled application features a unique air to liquid heat exchanger that is integrated into the manifold, below the supercharger".
i thought all the maggies came like this? I was talking about adding an additional cooler. Are you saying that what i have in quotes from the maggie add is an option?
If they all do come like the quote says, you are saying there is an additional cooler available from magnuson? Do you know what its called, and how much it goes for? can you order it from them directly, or do some of the sponsors on here carry it?

There is an intercooled and non intercooled version. You can not actually see the intercooler when it's bolted down. If the maggie was off the car, you could look in the ports and see it. The intercooled version uses a heat exchanger that pumps coolant (completely seperate from the radiator coolant) through the maggie to try and lower temps.

one of our customers installed a 03/04 cobra heat exchanger where his stock one used to be on his ION

Well, when we take a look at our IAT, we shall see if something like that is warranted. If those IAT's arent nice and cool, bigger intercooler\radiator\heat swapper it is!
