Calipers repaired and intercooler washed

Yesterday got my brake calipers reconditioned - the main cylinders were rusty and stuck inside. Took about 4 hours for my friend to do it.

Meanwhile I washed my ARC top mount intercooler with 1.5liter of gas..

I didn`t wash the intercooler when I bought it last summer, it was already dirty inside. I split the gas for ~4 washes. First wash was just black soup coming out, I washed with some fairy+water also, and last wash was clear gas.

This is all of the gas mixed:

dirty gas

Too bad I didn`t notice any difference in performance. I also put back my Cusco oil catch can, but if clean intercooler doesn`t perform much better, I see no positive use of it.

Your intercooler won't

Your intercooler won't improve too much buuuuuuut your turbo will clean out, which will improve things. All the oil that was kicking around in your intercooler is also cloggin up in your turbo...
