How big does an intercooler have to be to repeat that without meth? I just dont see it happening but im use to N/A cars... I could see with the added CFM of the tvs the need to go to a GP intercooler.

Its not just the CFM....Its the heat. The TVS will have a cooler charge so it prob wont be a big deal.

Length depth and height all depend on the unit used to produce the boost and how much boost.

The rotrex pushes cool air even at the higher boost levels. This is one reason you can get away with a smaller intercooler....I remember when Jan took me for a ride in a rotrex powered car, I got out and felt the intercooler "hotside" and it was almost as cool as the "cold" side

A supercharger like the M45 on a small pulley really needs a bigger intercooler because the charge is hot.

Its the same with a turbo. The charge is hot and you need a good intercooler depending on turbo and boost level.

So 143 degrees or 62C is still hot to me. Thats hot enough to pull timing. What is the pulley size?

I think IIRC the hottest ive ever seen my IAT's on my EVO are 121 degrees post intercooler, this was at 45lbs of boost. This thing has a HUGE intercooler.

Intercooler needs change from every setup. Jan has ran just about every intercooler on the MINI and just about every supercharger and setup. I'm sure that Jan is going to send the TVS out with the intercooler that it needs for your goals.
