An Interfooler? Really... come on man. I'd say get that thing off there or put a real turbo in front of it. Not make it part of an intake.

Actually for people who never tried it. It actually works. And works well as part of the intake.

I first thought that was InterFooler, but gave you the benefit of the doubt because I thought I saw piping on both sides. Oh wellz

And like i say time and time again. It works for what in need it to do. Just because its not being used for what its meant for. Doesnt mean it doesnt work for what I am using it for. For those with just the cold air intake. Drive your car around for awile and feel the pipe up towards the throttle body. Not very cold at all. But with the intercooler. You can definently tell the difference. I only did it at first because I was curious to see if it would change anything at all. And by the feel of the car I can tell the difference.

No it doesn't.

An intercooler works on a turbo application because the air goes into the compressor housing, heats up, then when routed through the intercooler, it cools it back down, before entering the throttle body... By just placing an intercooler between the air filter & throttle body, you are doing absolutely nothing. The air going in the filter is the same temp as the air going through the intercooler.. If anything, making the engine work harder to get air through a ridiculously long intake tube. Nice work.

Seems to be a trend on the org these days. Honestly though if you didnt want people talking about her dont put up the pics, and please please ditch that interfooler

ill disagree only because of eco power...

buy yes jazer is right.

on my car i have an intercooler, as air is compressed its heating up hotter than the atmospheric temp. when its passing through the intercooler and the ambient air is passing through the intercooler, its bringing the air inside the intercooler down to the atmospheric temperature. then its heading to the throttle body.

on your car. its bringing in air at the atmospheric temp, and the exact same temp of air is passing thorugh the interfooler and into the tb.your car is trying harder to suck the air a farther distance. look at it this way. take your vacuum cleaner, no hose attached, put your hand near the suction. sucks pretty hard. now add 100' to it and see the amount of suction you have and how hard the vacuum works.

trust us, we have been at this a long time and some of us know what we are talking about.

ill give props on atleast having an ecotec. other than that, one pic has hood pins, another doesnt. stock hood no chance in hell you need them. not feeling all the random silver stuff on there either.

and he must have a @!#$ty car if you are beating it n/a. or is his an interfooler too?

I completloy understand what you all are saying. To me it doesnt seem that the car is acting like it is stressing. But it may just be me. And as for the hood pins and the primer. I am slowly tryin to get things done. I have two kids and there mother isnt around so it is taking me some time to do things. I am just doing small things till i can get some money together. I am two toneing the car. And slowly doing the interior. I am just tryin.

Sorry onecleancavy. I didnt put the pic up because of her. I put it up for the car. I only have a few pics of the car. Its just a respect thing for me. If you put up a pic of your girl on your car and (and this is just for an example, not saying there is anything wrong with your girl) she was 250 and as ugly as the day is long. I would make a comment about your car. Not your girl. Its just a respect thing.

Agreed. You gotta remember not everyone has the same respect though. Not the case for some of the others here or on any forums. But if your not prepared to hear some smart a$$ remarks about her then just dont put up the pic, thats all im saying. Keep at it man, you have a good base to work from.

I appreciate the respect onecleancavy. And your right on everyone doesnt have the same respect. Your right about having a good base to work from but hard with kids. Lol My 30th birthday is at the end of july. So I will be getting the lambo kit for the car, my lowering springs, and my strut bars. So it will all work out.
Re: Work in progress

Are you getting struts to handle the springs?

If not..I advise it..I did a Pro-kit drop on my stockers, and wish I had grabbed some new struts..its bouncy
