Re: urq with 2bennett mc triumphant return... and...

["Ken Keith" <auditude@neta.com>]

When 2B puts an MC in an urq, do they cut out the core support 
and replace it with an aluminum one?  Or, do they use the urq 
intercooler, which precludes having to do this?

I understand it's the intercooler location that causes them to use 
custom core supports, in the 4ktq conversions anyhow.
