[s-cars] Needed: S4/S6 intercooler

Here's what we got here.  Been getting a slight boost
leak, from what I can deduce sans boost gauge.  What
I'm getting is a whooshing sound coming from
intercooler side of the intake piping.  Also, I
noticed that I do not get power until about 4000
RPM's.  So I take a quick look under the car and all
of my samco intake hoses look fine, all connections
fine, no loose clamps.  Take a look at the intercooler
bracket and it seems that the plastic bracket coming
from the bumper slammed into the intercooler at some
point and caused a slight opening between the ridges.
It is my educated guess that this is where I'm getting
that loss of power.  Mods to date: Stromung 3" turbo
back exhaust, IA Stage III+ chip, samco intake hoses.
Anyone that did a front mount conversion still have
their stock IC lying around somewhere?  (I hope)

Thanks,
Joe
