    Could a top mount style of intercooler not be retrofitted with appropriate mounting brackets? Subaru cores are quite long and skinny so that wouldn't fit, but something like a Nissan patrol, holden jackeroo which is more square. Mazda MPS has quite a large core, so wouldn't expect that to fit either.

    Just had a look on the PWR site, they don't appear to have a suitable core.

    I had a poke around and had a look around the intercooler today, and found that I think there is enough room to fit the aftermarket Mk4 SMIC. A couple of 45 degree bends will have to be fitted to the tank openings for the piping to work out.

    Is that a good brand? Seems like a lot if it's just another eBay one...

    I keep wondering if 2slim ones with a u bend for the return would work, like 2 of these http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_f...All-Categories

    They seem to be better than the cheap godspeed ones or whatever it is

    This guy is using one on a Supercharged Mustang
