uhhh no that's retarded...if you mean an intercooler for your turbo, 1st of it's too thin to fit 2.25in piping to go through for airflow and it's not capable to handle boost. not a good idea. if you look at a real intercooler you'll see a difference. don't go the cheap way for that, get a good quality intercooler at spearco or something.

hehe but it can hold like 15 psi :P haha I thought of it before. If you find a volvo intercooler from the junkyard that thing is as big as a radiator but ya gotta modify the in and out though.

aihg here is a pretty good wrieup....lets talk.....
If u use a raditator as a intercooler it can only hold around 13 psi...i know it sounds werid but takes this in mind...U know when you mom steaks stuff in a pressure coocker?...well pressure decreases boiling point and also decreases the "thickness" of the H20 atom....i dunno why...so in other words....sumhow the damn water helps it hold mor pressure...damn V racer told me this...old ass man... :)
