I would do the IC before the new turbo it was easy making that pipe the other...
Thanks Thefermanator for posting up all the info on all the dmax intercoolers. Haven't been here for a while since i bought the new truck and i thought this thread got put on the back burner i don't get the emails that somebody has posted on here so i'll have to check the options on that one...
I always run the winter one but never a summer one.

Thanks on the install. Once i remember how i got that video off of my blackberry got a couple more for ya with the intercooler installed and hauling twice the load and about 10* hotter out, its not the best video buy a guy gets the just of it.
Heres a video of before the intercooler was installed i was also hauling a pretty good load of timbers on a 16 foot flat deck.
It was +23*C out and the 73* AIT was the average running temp then i clicked on my water meth injection running just water at 4 GPH
Thanks on the comfirmation on the intercooler Thefermanator.
So heres what i made with that pipe
This is the cold pipe

For the hot pipe i clocked the turbo as far down as i could and it was way easier that the cold one...
I believe LLY and LBZ intercoolers are the same. LB7 are diffferent on one side. And couldn't tell you on the newer ones.
I would say it lowered my EGTs by 200* when towing didn't do much to the driving empty maybe 50*
But got to work will finish up the thread tonight with some vids and some...
I'm starting one here. Now my intercooler is newer than the a 04 so some different fabricating might be needed. But a guy always telling me to get a earlier dmax intercooler and rad also the pipeing and turn the upper plenum around and everything should be close to fitting.
Hes the only reason...
