Default universal intercoolers

i have an front mount impreza intercooler sitting around, & i dont have an intercooler for my rs turbo (standardish) but the inlet & outlets are at the the bottom, can you spin it round & make the inlet/outlets at the top & make the inlet into the outlet & vice verser?? or is that just silly?

if they are either end og the intercooler i.e. side to dise then wont you need to mod the pipework on the engine side of things as the rs turbo is meant to go into the intercooler top and bottom of the same side?

I dont know if intercoolers are directional in air flow either :-(

sorry not much help

i think it should be fine to turn it upside down... i'd be more concerned as to where you're going to get a reversed charge carrier from, unless NMS are still doing them..
