Im not sure you will need stu's cooling mod because the s/c is off taking away that much heat..

Plus im not really sure if there will be any room for it...

I can't believe you and I are the only people that picked up on that?



To the OP: who is mentoring you through this build?

I'm assuming that the OP is going with 'dual cooling'. A-A intercooler, followed by the OEM water cooling. In which case, the Stu mod will simply hold more volume of fluid in the system and prevent minor heat spikes down stream.

looks like he plans to use the stock intake manifold, so maybe he's just trying to get the coolest IAT's possible.

Is that a stock SAAB manifold with the wastegate flange welded and a T3 flange welded as well?

Sure looks like it because I just took mine out last weekend.

Not that that's a bad thing, i'm just wondering.

No one homie, I dont need a mentor, thats what research and experience is for, but on the other hand if I have questions then I will ask.

to both of you who said that I wouldnt need the stu mod think again, I obviously want it so I wont have any problems with heat what so ever, I could be sitting at the track in 95 degree weather and be at 90 degree Iat lol. I really just want to stay on the safe side. Bein too cool is never a bad thing.

P.S. I will let you know how the fitting goes with the pipes.

Thank you, you both deserve a cookie, and I know you know all about cooling ralli, I have read your cooling thread and was very stunned.
