Has anyone tried intercooling a BAE turbo setup? I'm planning on installing my turbo kit soon and was wondering about intercooling. Is it worth doing? Where's a good place to mount the intercooler?

Thanks!

Based on local ricer civics, apparently ahead of the front bumper is the top spot

Haha, that would look so weird on a DeLorean. I was thinking somewhere underneath. Or maybe the driver's side fake air intake can be used for something.

That's what I am using. My air-to-air IC sits in the pontoon in the left rear corner of the car. The IC fan draws air from the top (via the "driver's side fake air intake") thru the heat exchanger and then discharges it out the bottom of the pontoon. The only mod to the body was that we had to cut an opening at the bottom of the pontoon.

What kind of temperature drops have you measured with this arrangement?
