Default Intercooler upgrade

Whats the best intercooler upgrade to go for on a 400+ large turbo escort? There are so many offered now by different company's. Where would the I.S.S. then be plumbed into? Or do some company's accomadate for this in their intercoolers? Cheers

basically its a seperate chargecooler system for your standard intercooler and works very well on your HP level.

Default intercooler

So would I need to upgrade again if I went up to 500 hp, and if so to what? Does anyone do a RS500 size charge cooler? Or is that why people use water injection?
