big fat intercooler

[nsrchofpwr]

i just purchased a brand new banks intercooler with all of the goodies that go with it. i just finished tapping and installing the port for my boost guage on the high ram intake. i will install the intercooler system along with my ladder bars tomorrow. do i need to let innovative know about it? can eric do anything more after it is installed?

did i waste my money? i am NOT running a banks tuner. i did not jump ship.

no, your new IC doesnt change tuning at all, just egt's. the banks cooler is a good piece, but i dont like how some of the tubes fit, i modded mine so they fit just right now.

any idea what the factory one is worth?

i sold mine for 100$ on a local forum and from the time i posted it, it was sold in like 5 mins. the 7.3 guys love them.

look into the ccv mod, before you coat your IC fins with oil.

it is installed. my egt's dropped from 800 to 675 at the speed that i was hitting 800. boost was at 10, now at 8 at the speed that held 10. fuel economy seems to have increased. power seems to come on differently and smoother with a little more power.

whats the ccv mod??

[nsrchofpwr]

crank case ventilation. it stops the oil fumes(blow by) from getting into the engine and coating the intercooler, piping, etc. with an oil residue.

i think i need to do this. i was cleaning my air filter yesterday and noticed a lot of oilly residue coming off the turbo
