So I got a 1st gen intercooler for free and am gathering the parts needed to get it going.

1. Providing I can get a hold of some first gen tubes, will the intake horn bolt up to the intake plate or will I have to rotate it 180* for it to clear the M/C?

2. Will a 24v intake horn work as well or again will I have to rotate the plate?

3. If I do have to rotate the plate, will either of these horns clear the injection lines? Does anyone know if I can still use the stock throttle bracket and use spacers to mount it to the intake plate.

4. I most likely will have to hold up on a turbo upgrade. Besides having to clock the housing, is there any other issues I should be aware of?

1. you have to rotate the plate
2. no the 24v intake horn will not with the stock intake pipes, and yes you have to rotate the plate with the 24v intake.
3.the injector line hold down will not work
4.the injector lines will clear
5. the thottle bracket will have to be heavily modded to work
6. the radiator is two wide for the intercooler
7.get a 2nd gen or pwsk intercooler, the first gens are weak, and just plain suck, do it right now so you dont have to do it again later when your not happy with the 1st gen setup, and you will be trust me.

So why are the 1st Gen IC'ers so bad? Just the size and lack of volume to cool the air?

They are small. If you are going to go to the trouble and expense of adding an intercooler, you might as well use a bigger one.
