crushed intercooler?

[joe sobo]

i just bought a car with a greddy fmic and in the center its pushed up into the next higher row of fins. anybody know of a company that fixes them hopw do i find out is it even leaks?

if it's cracked and leaking it's probably a safe bet to say you need a new one. Maybe take it off and make a leak tester similiar to a boost leak tester.

Do a boost leak test and focus on that 1 spot when it is bent. You'll be able to hear air coming out if its is leaking.

try a radiator shop to fix it..most of them can fix these kind of problems to hold water in a radiator, and there's a few in my area that do well with fixing intercoolers for boost...same principle design
