in engine bay intercooler?
I'm confused about how this works.. The intercooler sits inside the engine bay just between the tb and turbo.. The first time i saw it was on the Top Fuel DC5:
but my buddy just showed me a pic of that type of setup on a (stock?) Isuzu impulse
now theres no hood dcoops on either car (that I know of).. how does air flow through the fins? I know in engine bay temp drops while the car is in motion but I still cant see how it works.. dont air need to flow through the fins of the IC like on radiators?

top mount intercooler (tmic)
usually there is a scoop that directs air over the cooler. Liek a WRX
A friend and I like to call tmic's interheaters because unless you're moving that cooler is enjoying a bath in lots of engine heat

Re: in engine bay intercooler? (Pay2play killa)
yeh i've heard of top mounts, seen them on wrx and toyotas but the ones i'm asking about have no scoops at all as i said before.
so to clearify my question, how does this work when theres NO SCOOP?
..and i'm pretty sure front mounts get heat soaked while the car is not in motion as well.
