[jaymz199]

I have a 2.5 intercooler core and ive noticed most of the biggername companys are making 3 to 3.5 core kits I was wondering if ther is any sighnificant gains to getting a bigger cored intercooler? And mine is abar and plate style.

Thats a good read thanks for the info but thats what I whanted to know is if switching from my...i dont know exact measurements but I think its 28x7x2.5 intercooler to godspeeds type c wich is 30 x 7(I think) x3 will net good gains. Be overkill or not even be worth the money?

Nah, it really won't make that much a difference especially with stock turbo.

I agree wholeheartedly. Matter of fact, going oversize on intercoolers can sometimes hinder/slow down flow which is bad for efficiency and can lead to lag.
