I just picked up a PS intercooler also. I still need to clean it up and polish it up and then I'll start the install. Its full of oil right now (stinkin fords). I also have the coolertubz but just the original ones, not the PS intercooler ones. I've heard they'd be too short so what i did is ordered 2 feet of 3" silicone hose from frozenboost.com and will cut it however long I need and use that for my boots.I also have the stock ford boots and clamps that came with it but I doubt i'll use those, so if anyone is lookin for some, just PM me. This 3" silicone hose will fit over the 3.25" intercooler ends. On the turbo side with my Aurora 5000, I had to have a 3" pipe bent into an S shape to fit and connect to my intercooler. It doesn't have any beads on the ends and hasn't blown off yet at 40+lbs of boost. If they do, I just plan on weldin a bead around the ends.

I plan on mountin my intercooler in front of the ac condensor as well, but what has everyone done with the trans cooler???

 

trans cooler... hehehe. Ya, I broke mine taking it off. My buddy had one off an old Chevy gas job that is the plate type and bigger than the Cummins original anyway!. I got mine mounted horizontally behind the bumper. Tranny fluid doesn't smell burnt yet after 1,000+ miles and towing a lathe, a Jeep, and 3 full sized trucks (all separate).

Plus, I don't care since I got an NV4500 in the garage that is begging for the A518 to give out

 

I did way too much at the same time.

A.) PS I/C
B.) Cooler Tubz
C.) HE351CW turbo
D.) Took my high idle screw out that was originally IN from it's original position.

I could barely hit 1200*F before. Now I can still barely hit 1200*F still, but it has way more power with that high idle screw out. I am making 35psi of cool, dense air.

 

hmmm. I guess I'll have to figure somethin out on that. I wish i had an nv4500 sittin in my garage waitin to go in...

 

My small front trans cooler went bye-bye. The line comes up there, and loops back. It's kind of ghetto, but it works.

 

My front trans cooler is mounted just under the valence about 6" behind the front bumper.
I pulled the rubber hoses off and used some 1/2" I had left over from my fuel system upgrade. Each side needed just under 1'.
Only thing I lost is the small "H" that goes between the lines.

 

I assume you have an aux cooler under the bed?

Is yours facing forward, or horizontal like mine . I'm thinking even horizontal mine is getting some air flow from it due to turbulence under the truck... at least I tell myself that

 

Yeah I do. But for awhile I ran without one. It wasn't a big deal.

 

hahahha... good, I wasn't the only one. Ran it for 100+ miles with only the water-oil heat exchanger!!! I'm sure she was warm, but I didn't pull anything.

I didn't dare mention it cause I figured someone would jump all over me and give me the "tsk tsk" treatment . I didn't care if I was doing irrefutable damage for the NV4500 reason I mentioned allready!!

 

The double deep pan really helps out with temps. A tight convertor also helps out a ton. I even towed with it without the front cooler a couple times. I have never towed super heavy though.

 

Been busy -
Mine is sitting just like it does in the regular position except it's about 6" or so behind the front bumper. I figure the bumper will pull some air up into it.
I took off the mounts that bolt to the top of the cooler and then used the holes in the cooler itself where the mounts were to mark where to drill into the under body.
The pipes come out almost even with the frame rail and when you remove the rubber hoses the steel lines are about 10" - 12" from the cooler fittings.
