Same here with my old '86 900 Turbo --- this mod definitely works well.

Mine was progressively boost dependent and it did a good trick with cooling the IAT.

:

Nice work Adam with the set-up!

Looks great and cool how you fettled with it so it wasn't just on at WOT.

I would do this mod without hesitation because I know that it's effective, however with the top mount i/c I'm greatly concerned about the water runoff going all over intake manifold etc

I wonder if a drain tray could be somehow incorporated?

I don't think it should be an issue, no different that driving in rain.. the underscoop lining I installed completely seals onto the ic..

Yep, when R53s were the new thing on the block lots of vendors made stuff. Water to air intercoolers... BBS had MINIs in their booths ... not Lambos

At least we are trying to get MINIs back there and stir the pot to have more performance options.
