My brother has always said that a Frontera intercooler is no good for a C20LET. I have seen a couple using the Frontera intercoolers but then you don't know what problems they've had or got.

yes, ok about the intercooler...
but i asked you about the water cooler...
that was the one tested... and droped from 80º to 60º...
is that good or bad for a water cooler?

I would say droping the temp of the normal operating temp of engine by 20C is bad. the ECU will run richer id it thinks the engine is still cool. what is the normal operating range for the C20LET.
