Modified Intercooler

Modified Intercooler
I went to Charleston SC this morning and while trying to accelerate on the on ramp to I26 the motor sputtered and blew white smoke again. This also happened a month ago and I pulled the intercooler off and drained about a cup of water out of it. After it did it again today I said that when I get back home I was going to fix this problem or at least make it easier to drain the water. I took the intercooler off and there was more than a cup of water in it. I drained it out and proceeded to install a drain ****. The bottom would be the best place but I would have to weld an aluminum piece to it to add depth for the threads. On the side of the intercooler there is a spot that is thick and low enough for the water to drain out. I drilled out a 7/16 hole, tapped it with a 1/4" pipe tap, placed some thread tape, and tighten the drain **** into the intercooler. So far it works great, just start the engine, open the drain **** 1/2 to 1 turn, and the water pours out as if it was on an air compressor tank.
I can't post the pics but here is a link to my albums.

I had that done the first of this year but when the humidity is high the moisture still collects/condenses in the CAC/intercooler. Now I can drain it out without having to take the unit off. I live in SC and the humidity has been high here for about two months straight.
