I'm using the CXRacing Intercooler as well and it works great.

70 bucks shipped, hah.

I had the Godspeed on my car, it worked great for the price, granted its not an HKS or Blitz fmic, im sure theres more of a pressure drop, but its also a really nice budget option and worked fine on my 240 for over a year.

Really no such thing as too big when it comes to cooling of the air. I think for your situation either the godspeed or cxracing would suit you just fine.

I have the cxracing kit with the greddy flanged hotpipe and bov they offer. Don't have it installed yet, but the quality of the parts are pretty good for the price. The couplers fit really snug and the clamps they provide also look pretty niceI would get cxracing over godspeed because the lower pipe on the hotside of the godspeed is a weird shape looks like it would restrict airflow

Meh, I could say I disagree, you dont need the worlds biggest IC for your 300hp SR, If you dont care about turbo lag then by all means go right ahead, but I think you should size your IC accordingly with your setup.

agreed with that i had a buddy running 19 pounds of boost on his rb20 and never got full boost till 5000rpm and he had a big intercooler. switched to a smaller one and way quicker for boosting so bigger isnt always better

It because of the pressure drop across the intercooler. This is something that you will want to look at when looking for intercoolers.

This is a local guy and many of my friends cars do great with thesehttp://www.siliconeintakes.com...9365d
