I haven't done it, but if you use the N20 to cool the air coming out of the intercooler, you can make some serious numbers. Better invest in some good forged pieces for the bottom end.

They have kits that are made to go w/ intercoolers. It isn't any specific shot, it is used to cool the air even more like he said.

I am in the process of buying N-tercooler from NX for a friend of mine. It is a nitrous/CO2 kit that blows at the intercoolers. Which in term cools the charged air. So no Nitrous will ever get into the intake and it's just a fix for a more efficient intercooler......untill you run out of nitrous :lol:
