Helpful Notes

  • Fitment window: Many intercooler kits list 1994–2002 coverage—your 1994–1998 trucks are included. Verify any small fit notes on product pages.
  • Pipe sizing: Most 12-valve builds run 3.0" hot/cold-side tubes; 3.5" can help at higher flow if space allows.
  • Boot & clamp selection: Match boot I.D. to tube O.D.; use constant-tension or T-bolt clamps, re-torque after heat cycles.
  • Leak testing: After installation, pressure-test the system to 20–30 psi and soap-check joints before road tests.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a 94–02 intercooler kit fit my 1994–1998 12-valve?

Yes—most performance kits cover 1994–2002. Always review each listing’s notes for minor bracket or shroud differences.

What size boost tubes should I run?

3.0" works well for towing and street builds. Step to 3.5" only if your turbo/HP goals demand more flow and you have clearance.

How do I stop boots from blowing off?

Use fresh 5-ply silicone boots, quality T-bolt clamps, clean bead-rolled pipe ends, and re-torque after the first heat cycles.

Is an intercooler sprayer worth it on a street truck?

For heat-soak or back-to-back pulls, a DEI CryO2 sprayer can help stabilize IAT. It’s optional but effective when ambient temps are high.

Do these kits include piping?

Some do. For example, the aFe BladeRunner GT includes tubes; you can also pair standalone cores with CPP pipe kits.
