That's what I'm thinking. Just wondering how large I can go without over doing it or going too small. There's so many aftermarket companies I jave no idea

Are these intercooler's Upto the Job,

I may be wrong but they are (400mm x 145mm x 62mm)

Which seems a little small to me.

Might look into the RS500 intercooler route then if its up to the job well and fits in a 240. Saves me time and effort!
