Intercooler options....
I currently have a ebay brand 3" intercooler on the Evo IX SE I purchased a couple months back. I've swapped the piping to ETS short route piping since purchasing the car.
I'll be installing a BB FP Black (as soon as they get parts to build them and ship it) along with other supporting mods for the turbo.
My question is should I go with a 3.5" or 4" ETS core?
My goal for the car is 500-550whp on the current stock block. Then later build a 2.3L RPM and shoot for 600+ awhp
The issue with the 4" is I believe you have to trim the crash beam or remove it which I don't want to do.
From personal experience will a 3.5" core make the power I want without a lot of heat soak?
Pump gas and meth is what I'll be using.

If you plan on going crazy in the future then you might as well get the 4", I personally hate buying parts then buying upgraded versions of the parts it is a huge waste of money

Im running the 3.5 making 650hp. I thought the same thing. I didnt want to delete the crash beam or make a custom one and I didnt want to upgrade later down the road. Turns out that the 3.5 was all i needed. My intake air temps are not screaming hot either because I used the 3.5 over the 4 inch core. The only thing really holding me back from making more power is the turbo. 650 is plenty for a DD.
