Seems to me that the intercooler should have no effect on the DIE (if it
works
with a turboed engine).... the intercooler is upstream of the throttle
body
and not part of the path of your FAW. Based on all of what's been said
about
DIE it appears to me that it is defined by the intake runners and the
chamber
that mounts the throttle body, and doesn't go past the throttle body into
the
infeed of the intake system. That puts the intercooler in non-FAW
territory,
doesn't it?
<marv>
Quite right, Marv
With the intercooler in front of the throttle body/chamber there would
be no effect on the FAW by the intercooler. Clearly I haven't been thinking
very deeply about the turbo installation configuration {:>)
