Ordered my Intercooler! quick question...
Ordered a 6.0 intercooler off of ebay. The guy had a few for sale, and had a good customer rating so I took the chance and went for it. Spent more than i wanted to 
$200. But, only 1 has been on craigslist in the last few months in my area and it was mashed up. I have 14 days to refund it and i want to pressure test it. Any ideas on a setup to pressure test it?

6.0 ones are a little bigger thus cool a little better. 7.3 ones are just fine, hell of an upgrade over nothing for sure.

X2, the 6.0's are bigger and make about a 50 degree difference. A 7.3 fits and works great as well.

The smaller 7.3 coolers allow a little higher boost pressure than the larger 6.0 but when you're looking at the cooler, more dense air with the 6.0 cooler it evens out I imagine.

Thanks. For the pipes im waiting for the kit from the guy on PSN. I talked to him last week, theyre almost available, finalizing production stuff. Comes with EVERYTHING except the intercooler. He said absolutely everything so i assume this includes mounts...but if not ill just make them

If you haven't seen this installation link yet here it is:
6.0L intercooler install in '92-'96 body
I think it is very good.
