Someone did a great write up on which ebay intercooler to get and how to install it, I can't find it right now but maybe someone who has it bookmarked can chime in.

Also this is a decent intercooler thread :

The Paxton Cooler is easy to install but its really expensive, and IMO if your car is lower, you will scrape the inlet/outlet as they enter the bottom of the cooler instead of the sides.

If you go Air-To-Air, another tip for you..


Get some additional plastic paneling or something that is sort of plyable... Then, once the I/C is installed in the lower front valence, make duct work, that directs all airflow in the valence, to the I/C. Make sure there are no holes around the edges. What this does, is created a high pressure, high flow of ambient air around the I/C, which in turn, makes the I/C much more efficient..
