    One method a lot of the SVT guys are using is a "Killer Chiller". It's a heat exchanger that taps into the low side of your air conditioning system. Refrigerant (R134a) runs through one set of water jackets, and your coolant runs through another set of jackets in the heat exchanger. So essentially, your intercooling system is constantly running through a ice-cold heat exchanger and therefore making IAT ambient or in some cases, lower than ambient air temps. I myself don't have any experience with these kits, but I've read up on them a bit. This is another method that I'm not quite sure why it isn't more commonly used. Sounds like a great idea to me!!

    Rick from Trick Turbos here in my town does those kits for the Fords.. We discussed doing it for my truck but never did. I forgot what the draw back was to doing that. I'm thinking it was to get it to work you needed to run your A/C on full blast the whole time..Something like that..I just saw it as something else that could go wrong and never did it.

    I live in Texas and nothing worked for reducing the IAT's that heat pump put out. I tried Meth, Larger Exchangers, Chiller Boxes..you name it we tried it so I ultimately just added nitrous to make up for all the horse power I was losing due the timing being retarded because of the iAT's. On a 90 degree day here which is the norm I'd see 170 degree plus IAT's just on the drive to the track. I ultimately just gave up trying.

    the left idler pulley should be able to loosen and move up and down a rail...be careful because it is under tension and might fly up..but if your tensioner is stuck i'm not sure about other options

    i guess i'm confused..the tensioner should be free to "bounce or move" up and down with the belt...if you are talking about the radix tensioner that moves up and down a little "Rail" that wont slied up unless you take the tension off the belt
