intercooler damage
will damage to my intercooler affect the performance of it? This ignorant person hit me and there is a small hole in the intercooler and about 10 fins are bent. Does this mean that i need a new ic?

the car is fine. just a scratch, but the ic has a hole about the size of a dime. the bumper support hit the ic and made the hole. he hit me at about 5 mph.

if its just the fins, then bend them back to normal condition with a small flat head screwdriver....however, if there is a hole in the rows of the IC, then you got problems...

take it off the car go to a muffler shop get it welded turn it around and put it back on your car.. if that works for you that is... so you can have a nie lookin intercooler still

jb weld it. that's what i did with mine. but i welded it about 3 times over after the firsr layer dried. i believe my puncture was about half the size of a dime.
