aem cai blocks intercooler?
 
the aem looks good. but if i were to later go turbo, would it take the space needed by the intercooler and i would have to remove it?'

i posted this before, but the at-specific forum doesnt get alot of attention. :lol:

The intercooler is only half the problem

The intake wouldnt work because your intake doesnt connect to the intake manifold with a turbo.

if you go turbo it will replace your cai. but if you have automatic you may not have to worry about that.

your AEM wouldn't block the intercooler because you will have to remove it

You will end up taking it off and selling it if you ever go turbo. A turbo has its own intake

Go AEM !

By the time u go turbo, I think I should be bored of K&N, and want something new. but dont want to pay the *brand new* price. ya know :)

Well, you will have to relocate the cai to the hyper flux valve. After the IC core is installed, you'll have to redirect the pcv hose to the flux generator so that the capacitor will work properly. If you don't do that, the CAI will get into the way of the electric charger that goes between the intake and tb. Just make sure to replace the fluids regularly with canola or else it will cause the deterioration of the battery.
I hope this help. :)
