Yeah I love the way the intercooler looks sitting in the front and thats probably what I will do.
[QUOTE=Red_SS/TC;5282681]Dam really I wonder how much shipping would be to you? It is pretty far from me plus a different country.
probably alot. lol my zzp intercooler cost like 70 to ship. but ya we got 2 tig welders at work, and the guys who do it do an awesome job, always get them to tig my car stuff when i need.

No. It is a very common misconception that running a larger core than "needed" will hurt performance by slowing the spool. This is simply not true. Although the outer dimensions of the ZZP core are much larger than the stock IC, the actual flow area within the IC core tubes is only adding about 100 cubic inches of space to fill. To put it in perspective, the stock turo can flow nearly 15,000 cubic inches of air per second. Compressing 100 cubic inches more air does not add any noticeable lag. The truth is that it is nearly impossible to have an intercooler that is too large.
Another thing that people seem to overlook is the size of the end tanks. While comparing the ZZP IC to the Synapse, some have stated that the ZZP core is too big, which will increase turbo lag. However, the Synapse IC has extra long end tanks which actually do add a significant amount of space to fill. For example, if we made our core 4" shorter, but then added 2" to each end tank, it would add a lot more open space than additional core would.
