How close should the radiator be to the turbo intercooled??
I am sure I read here some where they should touch if possible.
I have a volvo 940 intercooler (big
) and a golf rad the colsest i can get them is 30 mm.

The advice I've heard is that air will buffit around inefficiently if the rad's aren't touching rather than passing straight through both rad's

mate with high power skyline says they should touch for that exact reason. airflow stalls between rad and cooler and becomes less efficient although will still work!
