Intercooling and Front Mount...etc!

I am new with the whole typhoon crew and last night i got a wild hair to start taking the truck apart!

So i pulled the K&N and it had 2 hoses running from the valve covers (both sides) to the piping on the K&N intake for the turbo (i assume to pull pressure from the crank case and help rings seal little better during boost). all the piping was covered in oil (cleaning pips and K&N tonight) I think that is normal but if there is a little mod trick someone chime in...

So i pulled the cheesy rubber pipe from the Volute on the turbo to the IC (had a whole in it i need to replace) and if someone knows of a part number or piping that looks clean please post from turbo to IC....

Then i took the intercooler off and i was wondering how hard it would be to run a front mount Air/Air and take off this system? Also on the intercooler stock setup i cannot find a mod trick on that i know you can have something start up earlier but i cannot find a link on how to get the pump going at startup etc...

please chime in and give this newby some advice!

Has anyone ever tried to run an A2A and keep our stock I/C so that way you get the benifit of it already being cold from a stop and extra cold while moving? Just a thought! There is tons and tons of info here on I/C trust me thats all i've been working on, so SEARCH (yeh my first time getting to say that!)

no b/c the water heats up and is harder to cool down then an a/a.

Got this kit, ran me about $1800 with a Tial blow-off valve. Just clock the turbo, and it is the most direct kit I saw, and I love the way the setup looks in the truck. Jerry is a good guy to deal with, he sent me a part off his truck cause mine had a dent in it. Great service, I would say worth the money. :2cents:

When you're ready just scrap the A2W altogether and go A2A.... it's the ONLY way to fly.

Yeah i need to drump off this stupid system! i did some hot laps after doing the tune up (number 6 cylinder had stock plug never changed) and truck runs like a champ still cant figure why i cant pull all the way up to 6K or 5500rpm but runs way better then before!

but after doing hot laps i let it idle to cool down and turned it off and after 11 hrs in the garage i poped the hood this morning and the engine was still warm?????????????????????

dumping that A/W IC and going Front mount some time soon!

Your truck stops making power well before 5k so i dont know why you would want to shift at 5500-6000.

What RPM does it stop making power or should it shift at????

i guess i am use to a 383ci motor i had in my vette that i would shift at 7K with a D-1 procharger at 15psi

so seeing it shift at 45-4800 kind of freaks me out like something is wrong like the old TPI motors :)
