Slide I'll give you my stock intercooler for R100 so you can try it.
R100 bucks for cooler= deal, Now that plus say R 300 for pipes and R20 for head ache tablets and its looking like a good option!

The standard cooler is very inneficient! general consensus is you have a 4-5psi drop through the standard cooler. I wouldnt want to run two of those things

Yeah i was looking at the thermal dynamics and flow rates of various intercoolers and realized that the effort is too big for the result i want to create and that it wont assist my asma pomp at all.

Thus patients is a virtue!

Project abandoned!

Thank you all for the support and advise!
