Default intercooler change

on my00 awd 2000 turbo the intercooler contains the dump valve. if i upgrage to an sti intercooler or maybe a front mount where does the dump vale relocate to. my last 2 scoobs did not have intercooler mount dump valve so not had this issue before.

The STI topmount has the dumpvalve located on the intercooler as well. When you go front mount then on the piping there is an extension that you connect the dumpvalve to. It varies from model to model though.

Meth is added to your fuel at different ratios depending on what your car has been set up to. The meth gives your car an added bit of power.

When you buy the intercooler it should have the hole where the dump valve goes. But I don't know ever possible STI topmount so I could be wrong. The one that you decide on post up a pic and we should be able to tell you.
