    Treadstone Intercooler core?

    Does anyone have a picture of the treadstone intercooler cores showing the actual path the air will travel through? Most pictures I've seen are external or are from an angle, so the core design is not visible.

    but I said Redline 0w40, not 5w40. :confused: As far as zinc content, I was under the impression it would help decrease engine wear...<ducks for tomato>

    Transmission won't shift!

    I agree with rayall01 about testing his hose expansion theory not being dangerous...IF you wear eye protection, gloves, and long sleeves to cover your arms :). Please keep us posted and change your clutch hose to a stainless steel braided one to let us know if it had any effect :).
