What intercooler is best to run with a T3/T4 Hybrid Turbo?
So I bought a turbo & want to start looking around for an intercooler.....I'm planning on going from a 2.5 HOT side ---> 3.0 COLD side......So where do you get your intercoolers from? What would be the best brand on a budget?

Why air to air? & I read a article about how it's better to have the piping from the intercooler to the throttle body bigger than the exhaust to the intercooler because something about the velocity.....* I have to go read it again*

You can buy an intercooler off of here, or off of ebay. You don't have to spend a fortune on it. Air to air is simpler, less parts less plumbing. Overall just better unless you're basically drag racing.

Keep it simple but you can do what you want and 2.5 inch intercooler piping is good enough for what most people do to these cars
