how much more weight does a v6 add?

That intercooler is way too small BTW.  Mine is more than twice that size, for half the power. 

Your intercooler is huge, but is it even possibly too large? As in, sure, it never gets hot, but perhaps it has a lot more thermal capacity than you think?

Is there anywhere someone could read up to determine what the most effective size of intercooler and heat exchanger is along with fluid capacity?

All I'm saying, is that while probably unlikely, maybe the car has much more thermal capacity in the intercooler than we give it credit for?

Quote:There's nothing wrong with having the turbo right next to the A/W intercooler, if you build the system right.  Throw some reflective heat shielding on the side, make sure your heat exchanger is big enough, and it won't matter if the sun is right next to it.

However, I expect none of that was considered in this build.

probably not.. neat to see tho, too bad there aren't more practical super builds..
