If your car is stock, then I'd recommend just saving until you can get a real intercooler. Stock SR will be ok with side mount. But its your choice

i got that for my swap. It's cheaper and bigger, and looks to be the same core that everyone's having good luck with. The couplers and clamps are high quality, but it looks to me as if the upper hotpipe they sent me won't fit...the one they sent me was a 90* angle upper hotpipe instead of the shallower angle hotpipe they post in the e-mail. It also looks to be a bit short. Im not certain if it will or will not fit as I am still installing my SR and havent had a chance to mock up the FMIC piping. Either way, doesnt look like anything a greddy knockoff hotpipe can't fix.

hey let me know if u have to remove the bumper support all together. i really dont want to do that but i would trim it. that intercooler looks good to me. i really dont think name brand has anything to do with it as most name brand manufacturers get their cores from other companies and put their names on it.

looks pretty decent, i think it would be fine for a near stock sr. the only thing i would be concerned about, is the BOV. for 200 bucks to get all that stuff in a package, that "greddy" BOV has to be a fake. that would be the only issue i would have with it.
