Unfortunately not enough room with the alpina inlet manifold for the standard pipe as it fouled on the inlet ma...

Your pipe work was looking good on photobucket. It will deffo be better than this effort that was sitting behind the headlight on my car. It has a nice core but airflow and heatsoak major issue.

thats the one I had my eye on, hopefully the toyo one is a direct copy. See what the post intercooler temps are and if you need to pull timing due to high intake temps then you have an easy fix.

Would the intercooler have more frontal area exposed to airflow if it was flipped 180 degrees. It would then be behind the kidney grills rather than behind the bumper.
