Help! I need info on intercoolers. Whoever bought TurboNetics
also bought Spearco to establish a monopoly in the after market
turbo system business. They doubled the price of the core I was planning
on using to $480 (ouch!) which coincidentally is the retail price of
one Mitsubishi 3000 Gt twin turbo intercooler. It has two.

What are the sizes and junkyard prices of Volvo, Saab and Buick
turbo intercoolers?

Shoot!... for $480 I can make and duplicated the simple Spearco
fin and plate design
one at a time and have them furnace braised. Way too much money
for five pounds
of .010 aluminum sheet.

I heard the IC for a Ford Powerstroke Diesel is only $200.  Start snooping
the parking lots for ones that will fit???

Thanks Tom. That is the kind of info I am look for. I'll have a look
at the Ford parts department.

BTW if you need bends a lot of these turbo cars have 90 degree rubber elbows
about the right diameter and construction. I am using the stock Mazda
rubber elbow that adapts the 2" turbo outlet to  1-3/4" diameter tubing.
