Think of the depth of the 2wd coller, or even better, as above, the 4x4 one.

You have the same width as say a GRS.......but 1/3 the height of the GRS. However, you have 3times the thickness . (All figures are an example!), so, potentially you have the same cooling capability as a bigger, thinner intercooler without blocking the rad!.

if u wanna cheap intercooler get a mr2 turbo intercooler, cut one of the pipes and weld it back on the other way, and your done, same size as a pace, fits easier, normally go for around 20-30 on ebay, one on there now, i run one on mine and its fine up to 17 psi

I have a GRS IC and even when using 30psi boost I can't virtually see any rise in ACTs at least in this time of the year. So I would say that the big big coolers are not really needed to be THAT big.
