Another issue with intercooler is
-it replaces the stock location of oil cooler and there is a gap below the radiator which is low pressure. This will make the radiator less efficient, due to lowering the pressure in front of the radiator slightly.
-The oil cooler is put in front of the radiator, which pre-heats the air before going though the radiator. Also, unless the gap between the oil cooler and radiator is closed off at the seams, it won't have low pressure to draw the air through the oil cooler. It will be high pressure behind the oil cooler. Essentially making it less efficient.
Having high pressure in the front and low pressure behind is what draws the air through because it wants to be in a low pressure area.
I will have to look at mine when it is being installed next week.
Not that this will solve all the issues, but it should be something to be considered.
