Also, to address another post, intercoolers don't benefit N/A engines. N/A engines don't significantly heat the intake air because they don't pressurize it. The intercooler will create an intake restriction that will outweigh any hp gain you will get from the slightly cooler intake air.

So I told you everything you need to know and I will never help with mod which will have negative effect.

WAY OLD THREAD I KNOW. But i was doin a search and came across it. -obender66- i don't know if you ever got the answer to your question but -Sil_Pro5- was right in a way. However yours isn't in the manifold its in the MAF.
