tb turbo coup side mount inticooler

[chehsgsx]

just wanted to let people know about this. i used to have a merkur with a top mount Thunderbird intercooler. i am now using it as a side mount on my eclipse (finally with no leaks and its mounted solid). heres some pics let me know what u guys think. the brackets on the intercooler where hard to do simply because the inticoolers aluminum and i don't have any one that can weld aluminum good. and yes the fuse box is just chillen there but i haven't had any problems with where it is. yet.

Nice set-up, how is your car responding to this thunderbird intercooler

Neat project.
Have you logged and increase or decrease in airflow? How about pressure drop, did boost go up a psi or 2? or vice versa?

boost did go up a pound and a flow increase .. don't even know how to test that. but car runs great and the intercooler is bigger so i believe there is a drop in temps.
