I may be able to do a "sneaky pete" intercooler with the Cutty. We'll just have to see what happens.

There's no catch to the intercooler. It definitely will help your KR and your hp and tq gains from it will speak for themselves. The only downside is you will want (really need if you want maximum gains from an intercooler) a way smaller pully. And just to keep your engine in good shape, headers or P-LOGs and a 3 inch DP. Oh and dont forget the biggest downside of all. The price. The price of the intercooler isnt all you'll have to buy. You'll need those exhaust upgrades and the pully. So it comes out to be about 800 more (if you find good prices) than just the IC price. If I had the money laying around I'd do it in a heartbeat though! No downsides to an intercooler besides a sharp increase in speeding tickets. lol

i agree...i priced out the parts i need to get full advantage of the stage 2 IC and the price was about $2600 due to all the extra stuff you will need. like the headers, larger MAF, injectors, fuel logs, gaskets, pulleys, and other misc stuff. its pretty costly.

Cool, thanx for the info. Saves me a dime or 2. And dont worry, I spend my off time on the computer myself....thats what car enthusiasts do. I cant count the hours Ive spent just looking at stuff I cant afford, just imagining what kind of scam I can pull off to make money...not necessarily scam per say, but you know what I mean.
