Superspynt did this. Airflow over the intercooler is only one problem. The other problem is that the ST185 a/a intercooler just does not have the adequate cooling capacity for safely boosting higher than stock levels. Do yourself a favor and get either a FMIC or a w/a intercooler.

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
