I see some pretty large Intercoolers and some pretty small turbos, you guys havent got a clue to what size IC is needed for a given turbo. Personally you will not need bigger than a 12x24x3 for 98% of the guys in this forum. The larger the IC the higher the lag or spool time. Even with my GT4088 turbo I could see a slight difference in spool for my 12x24x4 from my original IC of 12x24x3. Wake up BIG IC's DON'T make power! If the turbo can not pressurize it properly you will lose power. For the guy with the IC hangingto the fron lip...you reallly are clueless and didn't research what size IC you reallly need; not to mention that going in and out of driveways that are raised will cause it to hit the ground. Hello IJ whats popping dude!

sorry man but mines work good and yeah there lag but it makes up for it at the end and beside down the road im going to be running 28 psi and i dont think that a12x24x3 is better than a 12x24x4 at that boost level so i think that u should not be coming in here trying to talk trash about our front mount and how dumb we r for having it on the car i mod my car for my self and not for you so what dose it matter if u got nothing nice to say then keep it to yourself. i know that on a dyno a 12x24x3 will not out proform a 12x24x4 at 28psi

my ic is a 24x12x4... and i'm currently running a ct26 that is blowing oil :bigthumb:

but that doesn't mean it will stay like that forever. My short term goals are medium size turbo (60-1) pushed up to around 400ish hp driven daily and made reliable... then i'll get a larger turbo, ffim, etc.

i see nothing wrong with buying big now and not needing to upgrade in the future.

plus i plan to get a lot of body work done and I'd like to get a bumper that compliments the IC i have now. i'm working towards a bigger picture here ;)

or do you upgrade your car all in one shot? i've already spent over $10k fixing up my car.... but i'm not a millionaire, plus these things take time.

Getting ready to put my 24x12x4 back on, now that I got my RR-FFIM. What did you guys do about the oil-cooler, when putting them big@$$ ICs in there?

I put mine between the intercooler and the rad. Made a custom bracket but mine oil cooler is not stock.
