Well, if I do go that route, I will have it pressure tested...but I guess that's still letting a nickel hold up a dollar. I definitely can't afford to drop $800 on an intercooler kit. I've recently heard that f-max has a kit for a little over $400, which I'm looking into. And I think daperformance.com sells a huge intercooler (no kit) for a little over $300.
(BTW, thanks everybody for answering all these questions and giving all these suggestions...this will be great FAQ/Archives material when we're done with it. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'> )
