Mazda MX-6 Intercooler Install on a 323 GTX

 


The hose from the turbo to the I/C is the stock 323 GTX hose. The outlet hoses
are made up from Mitsubishi Eclipse stock I/C hoses joined together with a connector.
The stock hoses from a Galant VR-4 will work too.
The two pipes on the I/C have been shortened slightly and beaded so that the
hoses wont blow off. The power steering piping has been bent slightly for clearance.
