Ummm, do you have a Magnacharger Radix?? If so it is air to water intercooled. Or are you just looking to upgrade the heat exchanger? BlownChevy on this board can help you out with your Magnacharger needs. I am not sure what you are looking for, as for the intercooler itself it is located under the blower head unit and therefore will not accept a UNIVERSAL intercooler. Post up some more details what you are looking for and we will get you headed in the right direction.

Justin,
People on this board will respond to you if you ask questions that are meaningfull. Since the actual intercooler core in a Magnuson supercharger is located under the blower, are you asking if Magnuson provides a larger heat exchanger, which is installed in the front of the truck.
If you go to the Magnuson website and pull up the installation instructions for your vehicle, you'll see the configuration of the intercooler system on your truck.
If you are wanting a "universal" Air to Air" intercooler, it simply doesn't work.
Those are for Turbo charged, Pro-Charged and Vortec style blowers, (or other custom blower applications.

Secondly I think you should know that Magnuson is one of our sponsors and one of their top dogs is a Moderator and my friend
We need to know what system you have, if you don't know then a simple picture will do it. Also, you need to have your terminology correct for us to understand.
The Intercooler is directly under the blower on the 112/122/TVS systems (a few excepted) and the Heat exchange is the radiator thing up in front of your radiator.
You can upgrade the heat exchanger but not the Intercooler, although another sponsor Trick is working out details on a refrigerated exchange.
If you need to contact Magnuson use the phone, I always get thru and have had nothing but the very best customer service.
