It's hitting softer. Seems like the timing slipped again. When I get a chance I'll check it . The 410s may be part of the problem too because the harder you push it the more boost it makes so the better it runs. With 355s it loaded it harder....if that makes sense.

That's a back road run at about 10lbs of boost. Just doesn't hit like it did

I'm gonna use a powerstroke radiator in place of the idi setup. It's supposed to a couple inches narrower than an idi. I need more clearance between the intercooler tubes.still need to find the rubber pads that the radiator sets on. I also have to cut the inlet and outlet off and switch sides so I can keep my current hose setup

My wrangler is on it's 2nd Mishimoto radiator (replacement), and i'm about to swap for a 3rd. I wanna love Mishimoto, but.....

I do have a Flowkooler water pump, but the water pump is on the pull....That is the only other possible explanation

Leaking. Different spots.

I have a friend that got a $100 garbage aluminum radiator off eBay and he's run 20k on it, zero issues. What are the chances?

If it's leaks at the welds then I can fix those, but if it's the core then I'll have to see about sending it back. But I'm going to be cutting it and modifying it some so I don't know how every having to return it would work. We'll see
