Parts for the turbo build have started flowing and I’ve started the mock up. Here’s one of the two side intercooler radiators (the water cooling rad).



Air will enter here


And exit here (the gap between the outer fender and tail light


I’m a little bummed about the weight, they’re probably 25lbs a piece. I’ll have close to 100lbs in my intercooler system including the water. All in all I’m probably adding 200-250lbs to the car in engine, turbos and cooling, so far I’ve found about 40lbs in steel that I was able to remove. Hopefully I can find some more. I still need to remove the HVAC system under the dash, anyone know what that weighs?
