you're talking about a C900 turbo. Many have installed a 9K intercooler in front of the radiator however there's not much room to fit it and the AC condensor behind the grill and headlights. Some have modified how the radiator is mounted in order to accommodate the 9k IC.
Now if you're talking about installing the OEM C900 IC in front of the condensor, that's another thing altogether. Not just that, but the size/efficiency of the OEM 900 IC isn't all that great for the given size of the engine. I've also considered two C900 IC's and placed them behind the front facia, low under the bumper. Generally where the one oil cooler is.
But then where would I move the oil cooler to?
It's an endless dilema. Do I do the 9K FMIC, an Abbott-like air/water chargecooler, or modify the C900 IC? Hmmmm.....
