*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR TURBOCHARGER *** After reading numerous reports on the virtues of intercoolers, I started wondering if it's possible to retrofit one on a Saab 900 Turbo ('83 model in particular.) The exhaust oxygen sensor and APC boost control will compensate for the cooler compressed air. (I know this works, because the car has much more power on very cold days (0 degrees F and lower)). However, I'd like to solicit advice on two points. First, where can I *find* an intercooler (with associated plumbing and fittings)? Are there specialty catalogs that sell them? Second, where is the best place to mount the thing? It's kinda crowded under the hood already. Thanks in advance. -- Regards, DJ Molny ihnp4!cuae2!djmolny

eat-it eat-it I got the impression that Renault Turbo Fuego parts were not too expensive (just how expensive is enough?), and that that model uses a compact intercooler that may be useable on your Saab.
