[s-cars] Dual Intercoolers?

[Mark Strangways]

You would want to run the in parallel, that is side by side for lack of
better words.
If you ran them in series, back to back you may get a better temperature
drop but it would be at the expense of twice the normal pressure drop of the
stock IC.
Now this is subjective of course to you using a stock size intercooler. If
you second cooler is vastly different than the stock one then all bets are
off.
