Hey guys. I have 2 questions please with regards to my ST202.

I was going to use a barrell chargecooler and water pump set up etc got my Gen 3 3SGE. Now I've seen Caldina top mount intercooler are quite cheap. Questions are

1. Will the Caldina intercooler work with my throttle body ie location amd plumbing?

2. Surely if it was good for the Caldina, it will be good for mine with a GT4 bonnet and vented front bumper?

Please let me know. Oh, I'm not doing silly horsepower. I just want to avoid front mounted intercooler.

Cheers.

vented front bumper wont make a difference. the GT4 hood does not direct air to go across the intercooler. Even with the bumper vented, the airflow will not go up through the engine bay to the intercooler.

plus the location of the turbo and your throttle body wont support the Caldina intercooler. you are better off having a WTA custom setup.
