Installing an Air/Water intercooler
Installing an Air/Water intercooler will be my next project. I finished installing a boost gauge and pyrometer today so I can get some baseline measurements before I put in the intercooler. I am using a generic ebay air/water unit that I got for $125, and a Honda Goldwing radiator to cool the water. After the intercooler is installed I plan to turn up the full load setting on the injection pump, and turn up the boost to get boost and EGT back to the levels I have before intercooling.
Pictures are the ebay intercooler and the radiator test fitting. Hood will close with a slight shave of the rear of the grill to clear the cap.

Excellent! I've almost bought one of those intercoolers several times. I can't wait to see how you get it plumbed. I like the motor cycle radiator idea. I just got my a/c working so I don't think I'll be so willing to ditch the condensor.

Are you going to modify the intake manifold any?

I got a spare manifold off of ebay that I will have a 2.5 inch fitting welded to.

I was thinking of fitting one of these in place of the crossover pipe in a 603 -
