Message	the endcaps will have a significant (read: positive) impact on the flow inside the intercooler whereas the abrupt surfaces in gtclk's intercooler design will create sub-optimal internal flow. I think this proves the point I was trying to make earlier. Keep in mind that the excessive distance from the top of the radiator to the inlets/outlets is highly undesirable and that a shorter/thicker design would actually yield much better results. No knock on gtclk, you get what you pay for. And if these are significantly cheaper than Stillen then they may not be a bad deal for people with stock turbos, I'd be very wary running high boost with aftermarket turbos with this intercooler design though. Just my 2 cents. sorry. I'm not a smurf pimp any more. (n/m) - sbsTT(MD) 00:00:18 02/07/02 It will suck back in a little on each pulse >> - AshsZ (Fab Whore, GED) 16:07:22 05/20/02
