I can add a little insight on intercoolers. I looked into using a non stock
IC on my old GLHT when I planned on converting it to an ICed setup. Biggest
problem when running a fair amount of boost on the saab and volvo
intercoolers is that they have plastic end tanks which will leak or separate
from the cores. The ICs from Talons are decent but they have kind of a
weird shape to use as a front mount... they are more thick than flat. The
Starion intercoolers are decent, but in the end I decided to go with a Mopar
intercooler. Its about the same size as a Starion intercooler, and has
metal end tanks. And as a matter of fact I still have it and am looking to
sell it. If you want it, its in PERFECT shape and came out of a GLHS (thats
Goes Like Hell Somemore), and I guess I would sell it for $75 (i paid $100).
Over the weekend I saw a G60 A2 Jetta at the dragstrip here in MI, and I
can say that the G60 intercooler looks a lot less effecient than the mopar
one. BTW, the best i saw that Jetta run was a 15.6 i think.
Some useless trivia: when dodge was planning the GLH omni, they considered
naming it the coyote... because coyotes eat rabbits (get it?). Of course
that was before the GLH got a turbo and was still carbed. I am not sure why
they used GLH instead.
