3B INTO AN URq

[Jon Archibald]

Hi Bob,
I have an urq with a 3B and I currently use a stock urq intercooler. The
IC-intake hose appears to bolt right up to the 3B intake, but I did not do
the install, so there may have been some massaging I do not see. I'll be
happy to send you a few pics if it will help. Works fine up to about 10psi
at which point heat soaking becomes a problem. High boost  launches (20+psi)
can shoot the inlet air temp reading from ~75F to ~140F in less than 10
seconds-scary. I'm currently picking a few folks' brains about
ugrades-probably going to go with a Porsche 951 unit which should be more
than adequate. Steve Eiche knows a lot about this and has given me much
helpful info. Incidentally, the stock unit has "1.5 bar" etched on the
bottom-at least it doesn't misrepresent itself!
