But I do agree any 5" intercooler isn't worth it.

I bought and installed the Wagner Competition 1 with ER downpipe from Mike...great price and customer service. I use the car mostly for track, road courses , and my Awron gauge kept posting insane IAT numbers as the laps and temps increased. I just spent 2 days at Road Atlanta in 95+ degree heat and I am very pleased with this upgrade. I ran virtually the same times all day regardless of temperatures. Don't get me wrong, the IAT were way over ambient air but much better than stock and quicker to cool down. The key for me was the easy fit, no turbo lag and improved performance. I know there are bigger models, but the risk of lag was more important that the hypothetical gain on a non FBO car.
