An alternative to BS I/C's....
I could not find the post, but i told a few people that I would post some pics when my new I/C arrived. I called Gerhardt at Bell Intercoolers, and had a little chat with him. I have been talking alot to DonE, and liked the way his I/C was built. gerhardt advised that he still had the blueprints for the I/C that he made DonE. Shipped to my door, it was several hundred dollars cheaper than the BS full bay I/C. Here are a few pics.... and one against the old Kokeln that i still have. The Bell I/C is the same core width and thickness but is about 3/4" shy of being double the length..
Obviously, this I/C is suited for the person who is using the 3.2 intake conversion, instead of the 3.3 intake. I feel that for the money, the kokeln is still the best out there for the 3.3 intake.

Yasin, the core dimensions are 27" x 10" x 4", the end tanks make it bigger, but thats the core....
Schnele, This night be a question better answered by DonE. I have the same GT-2 tail that DonE does, and know it will fit that tail fine, but I have no idea about a stock tail. I have never had the stock tail on my car, so I am not familiar with those dimensions, sorry. I also don't even have my motor together yet.....hopefully in the next month....

If you look at one of my pictures above, and imagine the I/C in the car. The right front corner of the I/C (closest to the firewall) has a 90 deg 3" aluminum pipe welded to the back of the I/C. Now you take another 90 deg piece of aluminum tubing and connect it to the throttle body. Now all you have to do is get a piece of silicone hose and connect the 2 pieces of straight pipe that are at the ends of the 2 90 degree pieces...very simple. A picture here would be much easier to show....
