anyways, mukhang simple lang pala... I think... you just connect from the Turbo output, then out to the intake right? Turbo-to-Intercooler-to-Intake
It is simple talaga but......

then how much would a Surplus intercooler cost? D ko Alam. Ano kaya ang brand na pinaka smallest or the most thin/compact cooler? Using an undersized intercooler will put air restrictions and may cause low power problems due to insufficient air flow to your engine. Make sure that you are getting the right size. Surplus lang siguro ang bilhin ko kasi mura at pang experiment/fun lang. Correct.

at okey po ba ilagay siya sa ilalim ng van? just 5-8 degrees, at lagyan lang ng protection against rocks and hard surface just like our Aircon's condensers are located... Intercoolers are ideally located nearest the turbo's air discharge port and the engine intake manifold to save on hose, plumbing, and clamping costs, as well as to minimize on parasitic losses due to the added weight. You also need good hoses as they operate on vacuum (no boost) and pressure (on boost). Hoses can collapse on vacuum mode with a restricted air filter. Hoses can also burst if your boost pressure is too high, of if they rub onto other vehicle components due to insufficient clamping.

Looks simple but ........., not that simple. Enjoy your experiment.
