Saturn Sky Redline Turbocharger System

A front-mounted, single-pass air-to-air intercooler drops charge temps by a claimed 212 degrees F. Ed Groff explains, "It's an internally finned, high-efficiency design. The platform did a very nice job of meeting the needs passed down by GM Powertrain, and it effectively cools the charge at the flow rates we are dealing with." Assuming this illustration shows the correct routing of the intercooler ducting, we can see that designers did a very good job of keeping it fairly straight and well-routed.
