Personally, I'd like to try a 5", or 6" thick ETS IC. ETS has a new core design which they claim is extremely efficient. Of course I don.t mind trimming the bumper a bit and since I have a JDM front, then I have no bumper supports anyway.
But, I'd be willing to bet that if you were to take a survey regarding which IC is best for our Evo's the Garrett 3.8" core would win, hands down.

I can push 26psi, but the turbo seems to be struggling to push more. Running a 25psi actuator.
My intercooler definatly needs to be changed out. Need to decide on what cooler to use..
Plazmaman - 90mm/3.55" (API Core)
CBRD - 96mm/3.8" (Garrett Core)
ETS - 101mm/4" (?? Core)
ETS - 127mm/5" (?? Core)

Well I have a plazmaman intercooler - now i am not saying that there other bigger evo 9 intercoolers wouldn't be sufficient, However, I have the direct bolt on version and its suspose to support 700HP, i guess with less than 20 PSI boost lol
If the Garrett Core is what has been said to be the tried and tested and produce good results then Id be going for that.
