possible intercoolers
I am going to get my bp turbo as soon as Braden can get a hold of one which would problably be next week. Any ways i know that i can use some intercoolers off of other cars that would work just fine. What are the possible cars that i can take the intercooler from? i know this has been discussed before but was not able to find any info on it. I really want to avoid spending $1000 on a intercoler i would rather go to a junk yard and get one for $100. Your help and ideas are really appreciated
ps getting pretty close to crunch time (bpt)

That Starion is a Mitsubishi car, dodge had a twin...can't remember the name. Look for old Turbo RX7 too.
There are companies that build radiators that may be cheaper...I will get a name for you of a turbo developer here in Texas that fabs all his intercoolers
