My question to this thread is how do you all feel about the PPE intercooler , is it worth the extra coin, I really like the looks of it but that ain't gonna get it done in the real world?? Opinions please.......

My dad has the older style PPE IC on his black truck. Its hard to say how well it helped out since everything was done at once. I would spend the money on manifolds and up pipes before dropping almost a grand on a new IC.

Already have those , did those when I built the motor. I will be buying an IC this week , just don't know who to go with yet.

Man I'll have to pull out my old laptop and see if I saved the link. This intercooler cost about $600-$700. Really nice unit too.

Is there a specific part number for the Duramax?

 

[Noreaster]

yes BTC1165 http://www.cgj.com/shop/charge-air-coolers/truck-charge-air-coolers/chevrolet-gmc2/btc1165/

Guys the CG&J unit holds up as good as any out there. I know someone running 140 lbs of boost through one on his dodge so they are made well. great design and product for the dollar.

Thats the HP unit right, don't want people thinking the regular CAC will hold that much

I can be added to list of spearco intercoolers to fail. Mine exploded last night at the 50ft make!

How well did the HP unit fit since it's an Inch thicker than the stock one?

 

[S Phinney]

It fit's tight to the fan clutch. There was just barely enough room to get the fan back on. It can be put on easier by removing the front upper support with the stack and there isn't a problem. It's pretty easy that way.
