Default Time To Cool Down Those EGT's

Well since the EGT gauge in my truck is good for only two things... Telling me when my truck is at idle and when it is not (<- Read as ALWAYS pegged ) I figured it would be a good time to do something about it! Seeing as how the 89 is Non-I/C... Well here is the solution!

Air to Water Aftercooler! Gonna run a resivor of some sort (cooler, fuel cell, ect) in the bed with a 12V pump to circulate the water. Also going to stick a small radiator w/ an electric fan in the return side.

EBAY...

Its not huge, I think the actual core is 4.5x5x12 should work well for what I need, just Dyno, Drag, And Sled pulling. I'm just as excited about having something to stop the fragments form the compressor wheel of my turbo if It should let go.

Dont get it from JAT Racing... He stiffed me on the brass fittings. It says right in the ad "You get exactly what you see below" then that EXACT picture I put above. No fittings came with it and he is telling me I was not to get them.

cool deal there Bobby.....

i'm thinking out of the box here..... what would happen if lets say a compressor wheel came loose at 120K rpm and ended up puncturing the core of the I/C?
