Hi All, I am accumulating parts for a 240ci currently running on propane and while reviewing parts I have vs. parts I need, my question concerns the need for an intercooler. My first crack at the turbo install will be under the bed behind the rear end. Logic is because I don't have to mess with anything under the hood on the first round and I can drive it while building it. I won't run an intercooler in this scenario as the pipe length should suffice. Once I move the turbo under the hood, do I need to run an intercooler given the propane fuel system is cold cold? The relative costs have me considering options. Scavenger oil pump, at least a quiet one, isn't cheap but, no intercooler in this case. Ultimate plan is EFI exhaust manifolds to single 3" exhaust with under hood turbo location. I can see the possibility of turbo in the rear running good enough that it may stall back there and never make it under the hood. I kind of like the stealthy nature of out back. Oh the options we must consider!
