I was thinking of a small aircon compressor off a 1.3lt or similar, i have driven a new small car and not noticed the aircon kicking in, so the lose in power should be very small compared to the gain.

I dont know much about turbos, but why not fit a aircon unit in a box between the turbo and intake. shorly this will cool down better than air to air intercooler. Should be able to control temp as well.

cj, hard is probably not the right word, a little harsh might be more like it, i was getting a gut shacking on the hwy with to standard struts, so changed them, fixed the shakes but found bumps more noticable. I had a Liberty wagon for 3 years before the zook so was spoilt.
