Shaker Intercooler?
Looking through Diesel Power and saw a ad for Jobe Motorsports and their "Shaker Intercooler"
it mounts above the engine and the hood is cut out around it. The idea is to have the air charge closer to the turbo and to keep heat from the trans cooler and radiator away from it.
Anyone seen these before? Sounds like it would work...
Looks kinda cool too! Jobe Performance - Intercoolers

Yea I like it too. I have been thinking about Ram Air on my truck for a while but the bigger performance gain might be less pipe for the intake charge.
Why not mount a cooling fan on top of it so it always has cold air blowing over it? HMMMM

Might work in the winter time! Just throw some snow up in there when you need some extra power! LOL
I think I might try to fab up a intercooler like this when I get around to it. Something unique anyways! Should be fun. I just need the Spyder and a intercooler, and boots. I can get the pipes fabbed up and make a bracket to mount it.

copied from their web page!
The intercooler kit comes with a 16in. 2,200 CFM SPAL fan that is welded to the under of the core. This ensures a guick cool down and cooling effects even at low speeds. The fan is not really needed.

Looks like a pretty clean setup. I'm not sure it's worth that kind of money, but one could easily fab something up. The question is, would there really be that much improvement with this design?
Just because the fan clutch is not locked up does not mean it's not drawing air.
