The heat exchanger is the heat dissipating portion of the Intercooler circuit. the hoses go to another heat exchanger (the actual Intercooler) located in the intake manifold, just under the blower. The hot air from the blower flows through the Intercooler and transfers some of the heat to the coolant. Off the coolant goes to the front heat exchanger to cool down again and repeat

Re: Radix owners inside.....
Looks good man. Your IAT sensor is in the MAF housing which is Before the blower. How would you know if this cooled things off After the blower?
Where did you get that heat exchanger?
There is another made by Johnny Lightning Products that is a bit smaller. Take a look here for some pics of both heat exchangers

I am curious about what you do with the old heat exchanger.
I just don’t see how the front mounted cooler will cool the intake air.
Dave I enjoy your posts, let me know if you see any changes in the IAT's other than what you've posted.

Re: Radix owners inside.....
The Radix comes with an IAT sensor mounted in the front of the manifold .. just under the snout. You splice it into the wires from the MAF temp sensor so you now have accurate temp readings.
You can see it in this picture. It is just to the left of the altenator. The plug is grey with white wires coming from it.

Re: Radix owners inside.....
cool thanks for the picture Flyer. The Whipples still utalize the MAF IAT. I think I might do that with my soon to be finished setup - it makes sense, if anything for safety to pull a little timing if things got really hot.
Is there a parts list for that sensor, or is it just something I could pick up at an AutoZone or another shop? If anybody knows...
