[urq] Re: CGT MC Turbo intercooler options?

[Ben Swann]

BTW - did I recall that someone had cut a stock intercooler to shorten it.  If this is possible to do sucessfully, then that could be a solution.  

So, has anyone ever cut a stock intercooler and replaced the end cap to shorten the intercooler - and had it actually work?

  As I stare at the CGT getting ready for this undertaking (or was that the undertaker?) - I am dumbfounded (or found dumb for taking this on) that there really is no easy way to mount the stock MC intercooler.  I kind of knew that, but had read that it was possible.  

  So I need to find what can be done.  I have read through some of the other turbo conversion sites, and mainly need to know what can be done to fit an intercooler - if need be procure a smaller one to fit.  The great writeup on: http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Speedway/6172/4kcstq.html  indicates that an MC intercooler could be used, but I don't see how - that would be great as I have several of these.

  I must retain a working AC, so compressor deletion this is not an option, although I will swap the compressor and alternator to use the MC setup.

  If anyone knows which cars use smaller intercoolers that I might try to find in local boneyard or other BTDT, even a source for aftermarket IC's LMK please.
