Every body that has both like them, sure either one will do the trick. I dont think it is as big the cs it comes up to the top of the crash guard.

Yes. That is an old piture. I put the grilled back on to avoid bent fins due to road debris. Also I did not realize that the CS ic was one of the ones that mounted behind the crashbar. I think the CS looks sweet installed and that thing is massive!

the top half of that intercooler is being completely wasted. it's being covered by the bumper & crash beam, that's not good for cooling.

Hey Rally,

It is way too much for our cars. I looked into doing this and several speed shops advised against it, they thought performance would be lost not gained, with that big of an IC, on the stock turbo considering half of it was in a heat soak position behind the bumper. They advised not to change it at all, but add cooling to it via CO2 or Meth, until the tank busted, then go slightly bigger, better material.

Looks friggin sweet though!

exactly. ZZP, Performance AutoWerks, & MPx intercoolers are ideal for our cars (& cobalts) because they completely fill the bumper opening and aren't too tall like the Crazy Steve & Treadstone TR12.

Because I found a good deal on here. I would have went with CS either way though. ZZP is almost $100 more for a smaller intercooler.
