Another thing... whats the torque on the turbo outlet pipe? and does the gasket get installed wet or dry?
I tightened the new one in tight but am a little weary..

Just to let all you internet (jockeys) Einsteins know, you are DEAD WRONG about the intercooler... If you can get gains on a stock turbo in Texas/Arizona heat, can you imagine what it is like where this car is? Or did anyone even pay attention to that when they were regurgitating their internet drivel?

spot on! I realized a good difference here in Bangladesh where temperatures are steady 37-40' C. I installed an ARC intercooler. AND here we cannot get higher than 89 Octane, so keeping the intake temperature down was more important.

The Spec M is a bar and plate design. I myself and looking at this intercooler, and wasn't too sure about bar+plate vs tube fin. Just incase you guys wanted to know the dimensions of the cooler in inches they are 23" x 11" x 3" .
dxbtune, did you have to do any cutting of the undertray? or have to modify anything for it to fit? or was it a direct install?

Anyways, I am looking into water injection, as we dont have any tuner here to tune methanol.

The bumper sticks out 1/4 '' The only thing you need to do is get extended bolts for the 2 front screws (the ones that have litle plastic covers preventing access to them) otherwise the intercooler fits snug and all the other attachments fit nicely aswell.
