Hey all
In the future (2 years ) when I'm on my full licence I want to turbo my el xr6, but I don't won't to cut any holes for intercooler pipes or cut the body, which brings me to my next question, what other methods of cooling the air is their? I was looking at snorts liquid plenum which seems the way to go, I already have the turbo, manifold, injectors, ecu, pump. I will be taking it to a performance shop so they can install the rest like turbo oil lines ecu/ dyno tune, dump pipe. I'll do what I can but for things I can't do I'll get someone else to. Planning on getting a 6- 10k loan so money isn't a issue. Anyways my main question is cooling the air as I don't want to cut holes in my body. Any suggestions ? Thanks

Water to Air. Also, don't get a loan to mod a car, save up for it. As you said, you have 2 years to save!

second of all if you loan 10k to mod an EL Falcon its still gonna be an EL Falcon just with a turbo and its resale value will probably be s**t house
 Please fell free to correct me if im wrong. |

I only thought of using a loan because if I use all my savings then I could end up spending it all and have nothing
 Or have a savings account for my car would work nicely

it always helps to save money as much as possible so you can spend it somewhere else on the car
