intercooler leaking again
hey guys, i was changing out my plugs and wires last nite and found that my intercooler is leaking again. i had it replaced once already like 2 years ago. i took of the y-pipe thats connected to the intercooler and the intake manifolds off and there's all this blackish nasty gunk all inside all them. getting fed up with the car but still love it. think i might just order the c3p intercooler.

Perhaps its ‘blackish nasty gunk’ in the intake tract is merely blow-by residue from our woefully inadequate OE PCV system.
Is it consuming antifreeze? btdt.

Note, I don't have any opinion on this as I do not have one, I'm just relaying the latest information from my reading, good or bad.
