    Someone decided to make his truck faster today, Joe and I installed a cam and intercooler for his Radix charged 03.
    The cam is no big deal so I'll skip that.

    The customer stated he drives a lot of and most of the roads are on a ranch, so the orginal location for the intercooler from Project R wasn't going to work out.
    btw, it's a very nice piece and I recommed it for anyone trying to squeeze the last bit of hp from their radix.
    After some thinking, we cam up with this. I personally like the idea of installing the cooler in this location becuase it would seem to get more air and run cooler. Plus, there's no need to cut anything. Which also wasn't on the customers list.

    Here are some pics of the intercooler install.







    enjoy the pics,

    No Kidding, I actually got dirty doing this one, LOL. Glad you made it back and had a safe trip. It was a pleasure installing your parts.

    Thanks a lot man, I'm very happy with the results, I can't wait to put the stall and the 2.75 pulley.
    And thanks to Joe (Jag Performance) too, you 2 guys made a hell of a job.

    Thanks for the comments,

    hey blown, yours looks good there, nice job, we just weren't up to cutting the valance, that's all.

    did you keep the stock cooler also?


    later,
