Are you running an intercooler? Nope, MY thinking is since I have the whole lake as a radiator and last year when I was out on a 85 degree day the carb adaptor was covered with condensation and cool to the touch I dont need one. Others might think different.

I believe that intercoolers are worth their weight in gold. It's designed to help keep the fuel cool as close as possible to the cylinders. The cooler the fuel/air mixture is the higher volume will go into the cylinder. Also when running a forced induction motor, you create pressure which inturn creates heat, so the cooler you keep the entering air the batter. The cooler the air/fuel mixture is the less chance of predetonation. I feel one is mandatory in long run applications.

h20ski2fast, what kinda motor is that turbo on? 509 cu/in roller motor. Went to a roller motor cause it's such a hassle to pull the valve covers to adjust the valves. The motor is in a 27' Advantage with a Bravo drive w/IMCO internals.
