i was thinking about putting 2 side mount inter-coolers on my car. would there be any down falls doing this? any input appreciated.

edit: i want to put them in these spots for the sleeper effect.

#1 down fall is routing and spliting 1-2 pipes, uncalled for. Much better off with a front mount or single set-up.

 

so one of them should be sufficient for 200hp?

 

a water to air IC can be placed in the engine bay(for a sleeper). A lil more time consuming than a front mount.

edit:200 hp you could do it with one, just not as efficient in cooling as a bigger longer front mount.

 

yeah but im on a budget build and thats not very afordable at this moment in time. i was going to do it like this (see pic). im probley going to just use one witch one should i not put in 1 or 2?

sorry for the bad paint skills!!!

pics dont work.

depending on what trubo u use to reach 200hp, then one will work with pretty much any turbo.
More piping=more possible leaks.

 

sorry pics back up!

 

If you're going for a sleeper look (like I am), buy a single front mount, and spray the front of it with radiator black paint and mount it behind the existing black plastic grid in your bumper...

Very stealth...

 

Buy a cheap FMIC and paint it black as suggested before. Look at mine, people that know my car is boosted still cant see it when their looking for it.

 

yup just paint it black!



trust me theres an intercooler there!
