Intercooler core size

What diameter of intercooler would be a good size to get? Wouldn't 24x12x3 with 3" inlet and outlet be to big? Thanks

a 3" inlet and outlet would be too big. If you had a motor/turbo that NEEDED 3" piping, then that little intercooler would be more of a restriction than throwing rocks into the inlet of the turbo while you were on the dyno.

24 x 12 will not fit on the car without cutting or removing the bumper support. Also you do not need this much flow on the stock motor (nor with any built motors i have seen). 10" tall is all you can fit with no mods to the car.

24 x 10 x 3 would be nice. I went with a 31 x 10 x 3, but thats just because i had the core laying around.
