Picture of the FI intercooler. Notice how the end caps slope down to the center. This is the problem. Need to flow the same volume of air from the 2 1/2in. diameter pipe across the whole core. Notice how it only appears to have enough volume until half way and then it really get's bad. Everything that I have read says this is a problem with the endcaps. Anywhere that the air has to speed up will create heat and a pressure drop. I guess we shall see if that is correct or not.
