Intercooler pump option?
cant find any specs on it, but maybe you guys can help.
half the price of the unit on our cars but maybe just as good maybe better?
its made by Bosch and looks to be similar in design. the only thing would be to make an adapter for the plug, but that's easy enough.

All the same **** afaik, the ford guys use the MB pumps, the MB guys use the ford pumps, its just a matter of finding the connector and who has the pump for a good price
With all due respect they are not the same.
The one on eBay does 320 GPH (Gallons Per Hour).
Here is what the GM service manual says.
The supercharger has an integrated intercooler. Cooling the air enhances the effectiveness of the supercharger. The intercooler uses conventional coolant in a separate sealed system from the engine cooling system. The intercooler system has a radiator, a reserve tank/filler neck, a pressure cap, attaching hoses, and a pump capable of a 26 liters (7 gallons) per minute flow rate. The pump is commanded ON, by the control module, whenever the engine is running.
7 gallons per minute x 60 = 420 GPH.
The Bosch numbers on both are different as well.
I will say that for my recent SC project I bought the one for the Ford Lightning (320 GPH) on eBay for $89.95.

based on what I know 5 gpm is what they are really capable of; the service manual (dont know what generation you have) is repeating information that may not neccessarily correct....

Gene you can trust Maven. And I did extensive testing with GM on pumps; we were the guys who figured out redlines were wired backwards. Anyhoo any of those bosch pumps are good and you got one lol
your stock cobalt ic pump flows 317gph.
im running the merziers pump wp136s pump flow is 1200gph note this will go down some after running threw the system but the pump is better than stock and seems to be out doing the factory pump im seeing better ait2 temps and when they rise they drop quicker and seeing a stronger flow that of stock pump. im sure that i posted this now zoomer from zzp will be here shortly to talk crap....note you have to do alot of fabing for the pump im running. but theres nothing wrong with running the factory pump or another one, the stock one just wasnt going to cut it for me with all the stuff i have in my motor now.

Like I said, the Bosch numbers are different and the costs are much different, so that would indicate a difference to me.

Can either of you look at my thread and tell me what you think about my MAP sensor? Remember, I supercharged the 2009 LAP engine and this is the first one that is being done and first LAP SC to be tuned by Vince.
