Oh, and you did a thorough job of cleaning any old old etc out of the intercooler beforing mounting it I hope. Sometimes they get really gummed up.

Its an Audi cooler alright. People call it a "blackstone." I'm only boosting 8 psi right now and won't go higher than 10 so I think it will make it. If it doesnt then thats a good reaason to buy a nice one.
It was spotless when I bought it. Then I had some oil trouble so the engine bay got drenched. Now the cooler looks like crap. Thanks for the tip though.
