C32 Intercoolers
Hey everyone,
I am thinking of producing aftermarket c32 intercooler utilizing "Bell" water intercoolers. Would there be anyone intrested in aftermarket intercoolers for out cars?

I would gut the OEM intercooler under the supercharger (my old leaking one) and integrate the 2 lamonovas each into the intake manifolds. Move the filters to the front. Just like the E55 above. Some kind of a combination of the NeedsWings Intake manifolds, laminovas and the dual CAIs.
What are your fabrication resources?

I would be interested, but it definitely depends on how good it works and price.

If fitment was good and they stayed water tight, I would definitely be interested.

Eurocharged Performance ML63 and TT lambo
We looked into doing those, the cost was just way to high to justify the extremely low production output.

Cool to see tho!

I still have the Code 3 Interncooler, Last one ever made, so it has all the previous issue's fixed. I don't have it mounted as i remounted a stock OEM one. Waiting until that one goes. If you want some pictures I can be glad to take them. Also you can look at in my Sig with a link to the Code 3 versue the stock one when I did the review on it

Wow! Your work looks really nice. The welds look great. Access to a CNC must be nice. I guess this isn't just a hobby for you...

If it's the top mounted version like in the post #4, I'm in. Please send me a PM when you are ready to discuss the details.

You have definitely caught my interest. If you can figure out some thing reliable and that works better than our intercooler I'm sure you will have a market. Take in mind, if it works for the C32 more than likely it will work for the E55. People just want some thing that tried and tested.
