Intercooler for Magnuson
I would like to know if anybody makes a radiator-type intercooler for a Magnuson Supercharger? The reservoir that holds the coolant for the intercooled Magnuson is kind of small, and I wonder if a radiator-type intercooler mounted near your radiator would ease the heat-soak issue with the Maggie. Anybody know anything?

Even after back to back runs the temp of the coolant in the reservoir is luke warm at most.
Short of adding Meth there is little you can do to lower IATs.
Bigger radiators, pumps, license plate/screen cutout etc. do not really make a difference in IATs as the limitation is with the size and efficiency of the heat exchanger located under the blower.
BTW My setup works perfect with the "stock" as designed by Magnuson installation.

There is a Radiator-type intercooler mounted in front of the radiator on intercooled Maggie set-ups.

Technically anything that transfers heat from one source to another is heat exchanger.
However for discussion purposes we will refer to the exchanger under the Maggie as the intercooler and the radiator as the heat exchanger.
