I see a lot of universal intercoolers with the inlet and outlet on the side but I'm looking for one with the outlets on top. Similar to TRD's.
Right now I have a similar setup but the intercooler is small. I'm planning to run a little more boost so I'm looking for an intercooler about the same width as the radiator and about 3" thick.
Thanks

The one I used was from CXRacing: 12x10x2.5 .
I found the height to be a tight fight to the undertray, although I ran mine vertical and not at an angle and on a 180hp supercharged setup. If money is not an issue, you could have end tanks welded on a core of your picking.
For my information, is there plenty of clearance on the sides for that wide of intercooler? Are you going to tilt the radiator or cut through the front support?

Cxracing is off eBay right?
I'm running it vertical currently as well.
Quite a bit of my radiator support is hacked away already. A little bit more won't make a difference. LOL.
I'll have to remeasure my intercooler. I know I definately want it wider. Not sure of thickness but the tubes coming out of it is 2.5" so I figured the intercooler has to be 3".

What would u like pics of?
I'm looking for a new intercooler I can use w over the radiator tubes. Nothing relevant to take a pic of at this point. My current set up will be removed completely.

I never said I didn't like it either. Would I buy a china charger if I was building a cheap setup on a cheap car? You bet your *** I would. I've bought plenty of perfectly fine parts and other things from ebay over the years. I've also bought plenty of junk I ended up having to replace with the real deal later on.
