IC finally sh*t the bed
« on: April 23, 2018, 04:53:20 PM »
I guess I can't complain about getting 135K miles out of a factory intercooler.

Now the question is what to replace it with...

Power-wise I'm pretty well stock.  Stock turbo and GMPP tune, so not pushing a lot of boost through.

Thoughts?  Anyone got a take-off stocker laying around they're willing to part with?

DDM's own intercooler shows out of stock on their website.  I can get one from Werks still... just not sure if it's really worth $500+ for my purposes.

If Joe can't help you, I know where there is a gently used one that has been sitting in solitude for several years.

Good idea but way too much work at this stage of the game.

Thanks for all the support and offers.  Joe does, indeed have one to spare.  I'll almost certainly go that route. I haven't seen Joe since my own retirement ceremony, and it's about time I did.  Honestly I'm a little ashamed I haven't been to visit yet this year.

See you tomorrow evening, Joe!

Does Critter's have an intercooler?  Given it's an NA that he DDM supercharged it might so as long as we tell him it doesn't we are good to steal go.

Hmm? I haven't spent any time under his hood to know.

Well at least we know where some spare intercoolers are.

Nice talking to you guys as well.  I’m also sorry you weren’t feeling well.  I got the intercooler installed today, and the car seems much happier again.  Code cleared and fuel trims back to reasonable.  Thanks a ton!

Now he's going to need another IC as he realized he just cut up the one he picked up from me.
