Talking

hey were you talking about this 9000 SAAB intercooler???? Well here's a pic of one, and i find that a good size of tubing for intercooler set ups is 2.75" i never seen that back in boston. So i guess its a canadian thing or something, because they have some at my parts supplier. if you have more boost then stock then, you should go with 3" tubing depending on the size of the intercooler too and all the intake related items.

After looking here and there, I'm feeling like it's time for me to learn to weld aluminum. I've got the steel welding thing down pretty good. I like the Saab 9000 intercooler for it's huge area and it's slim profile. It should leave room for a slimline fan, A/C condenser and radiator and still let the hood close. I just don't care for the Plastic endcaps. I will be running a VNT-25 and don't feel like popping the intercooler. They have all aluminum ones for $700, but for that price I'm inspired to learn al welding and make my own endcaps.
