Intercooler leaking, can I fix it?
I checked for boost leaks because I've noticed that I've lost 5lbs boost. The intercooler is leaking around 2 cores where it meets the tank. Can it be fixed with solder or brass?

I don't see why not, a good rad shop should be able to fix it...

I installed it & pressure tested it again, good to go now boys. I was gonna take it for a ride, but I didn't have enough antifreeze to fill it up.The guy who I bought this from had brand new cores for $350, but I am cheap & figured that I could buy 2 used ones for that & 6 rolls of snuff.
