Got a Top mount intercooler (its actually for my Subaru)

but thought I would ask you guys…

none the less, it has some bent fins on the intercooler but one side has all the fins are bent

yet otherwise everything is not that bad at all

wondering if there is a shop in the GTA that could fix it for a decent price?

or should I just leave it and drive???

thanks

you can get a fin repair tool… i know any hvac store has em… not sure about any auto stores

small flat screwdriver and alot of time

what if you got dirt stuck inbetween the fins? powerwash it thru?

6

7

needle nose pliers and a lot of time lol

how about a whole column is all bent…

that is what I am faced with

i am wondering, to just leave and it but worry that performance will be effected.

lol i was gonna say the same thing as R33 said, i dont know where but there are people who actually replace the fins for cheap price and do a good job of it…sorry im not much help but at least u kno its possible

yeah, you can do it yourself but be careful and take your time, like they said needle nose pliers and or slotted screwdriver

a small piece of wood cut to the proper fin gap works best, also you are less likely to damage the air passages with wood over a screw driver.
