Intercooler and Piping Questions

[tjbeggs]

I have access to a pipe bender for exhaust pipe but it is not mandrel. I should be able to bend all the pipe I need with out too much squashing of the pipe. Will the piping flow enough or should I just mod SD pipes with prebent mandrel sections welded in? The truck will be a 97 with AD splits with chip and stock turbo 1.0 exhaust housing. Also depending on the deals I find on ebay which cooler the 7.3 or the 6.0 cooler? would the 6.0 be overkill for what I have?

The truck currently doesn't have an IC and I haven't even picked up the truck yet (its tallfarmboys truck)so I am not sure what EGT's are like but he has a stock injectored chip in and I am planning to call tony or jody to get a hotter chip and want to make sure my temps will be in check. Any info you guys have would be great!

TJ, If you look in my gallerys on the other site, I have pics and writeups on a complete intercooler install. I just moded the stock pipes and it worked great. And It was super easy. Check it out. I can't figure out how to get pics on here other wise I would. Either IC will be fine for that application. Good luck man.
