What do you think about this Intercooler?
 
Hi
I'm planning on putting together a turbo kit for my '99 miata and have a question what do you think about this intercooler:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Bar-P...21642305QQrdZ1.

I'm planning on using this:
-t3/t4 turbo or if I will get a good deal on a gt35r than that is going on instead
-greddy type-rs bov
-tial 44mm wastegate
-that^ intercooler
-EMU or MS
-3" exhaust
-will make a manifold by my self


Thanks for your opinons

EDIT:Thank's for moving. Didn't know if it fits the DIY if I'm asking for opinions on a intercooler

do you have a/c?

It's the same intercooler as some of us here are using (myself included) although we've opted for the 12x18x3 version.

I'm not sure on a 99 but on a 90-97 it should fit in perfectly if you don't have a/c

I have A/C and would not want to take it out. (I'm going to do a cardboard version and test fit it LOL).

Sorry to threadjack, but does this one look like a good size for an over the rad setup?

Thread HiJack:

I have the Starion, and I find after some hard boosting that my A/C doesn't cool as well for awhile. Does anybody else run into this? Or is it time to throw in some more R-12?

Two members here used that same intercooler for over the top setups. Should be able to search it.

My a/c just plain sucks to begin with...

It's the best way to tell. Typically the only thing thats in the way with teh a/c is the dryer. But once you get up in the mouth youll be able to see what you can fit. I took a bunch of measurements and went online to see what I could find. What I ended up with fit perfectly in the center of the mouth and I had .5" of clearance from the a/c dryer, so I was happy.

Thank's braineack I'll be taking off the bumper on the 1st of september-previously i'll make the cardboard version and test fit it.

I plan on a slightly smaller version of that same intercooler as Braineak said here:
