RE: quality intercooler
i know there are some vortech systems who's intercoolers enter and exit the same side (05 gt?), you'd just have to fab it up and im sure there less expensive then a one off custom piece

RE: quality intercooler
for a procharger on a 04 gt is there any reason why you wouldnt want to run an i/c that entered and exited the same side. I think it would clean up the engine bay and use less piping, any reason why you wouldnt go this route?

RE: quality intercooler
Top to bottom intercoolers have different cooling properties than side to side intercoolers. If I remember correctly, side to side have less of a pressure drop whereas top to bottom have more. I did a lot of research on this when I had a GSX. Top to bottom *usually* have better flow and side to side have less of a pressure drop. There was a great website that if I come across again, I'll post it for you. I ended up deciding that a side to side was a better choice but I was also running a smaller turbo.
