i was thinking about replacing my h00d with a huge intercooler, and nothing else. ****, i would need that tug boat turbo that i dreamed of once.....





as far as an intercooler is concerned, and which ever core style that you choose {bar & plate OR tube & fin} is going to be pretty even, but it will be the style of endtanks and piping that you end up with that can hinder you in the long run and adversley affect the performance.....people mak ecustom **** for their car every day, but it takes time, patience and $$, or you will get p-o'd quick.....



just do some internet searching on cores and endtanks and piping that you think might suit your needs.....

I would contact Spearco to get the biggest intercooler out there. The biggest ones that come in a kit are sold by Border/Greddy/Feed...problem is that only the Greddy one is sold in the states. The others are Japan only

Ummm...only if your stupid enough to buy them brand new. I bought my FEED 4 inch thick IC(comparitable in size to the Greddy Single turbo kit Intercooler) for a whopping $500 WITH Piping and HKS Racing BOV.



I see ads regularly for the Big Greddy Unit for $150.00...
