28X10X3 Too Big for IC, plz help

Every search thread yields no answer. Would this be too big to mount? Running stock Turbo.

Youll probably get an additional 800rpm lag from that size of IC. However youll beable to push the stocker harder (turbo will blow more hot air but it will cool back down). Do you ever plan to upgrade?

I plan on going for a hybrid(bnr) or for something like HKS or T66(wouldnt that be nice) I'm about to f*cking buy that 26.5X8/3, C"MON I COULD SAVE NEARLY 500!. Where did u go Tony? And at this point I have no laG! It spools to easily at 2500 so lag is not a prob, of course I am not pressurizing any IC with my current setup

If your trying to save money, and looking for a good IC, and dont mind having your IC pipes made, check out this thread.

Forget it, im buying the spearco!For 360 it's not that big of a lose, besides I can always sell it, and right now I'm risking blowing my engine. Just help me put this damn thing on huh Tony? How much do you charge an hour, hehe?
The core is 20x8x3, similar to your NPR which is 17x11x2.25

Ill help, but its going to be harder since we're fabricating things, and not just installing them.

Good to hear, the piping is not a problem, know a guy who lives by me who can get me piping, all I need to do is give him accurate measurments ect...so well maybe have him help as well. It came to a total of 410, saving me 550, damn I feel good. I like the little Spearco logo to. First thing I'm gonna buy with that extra cash is a new BOV, anyone want to buy a Greddy Type R? Great condition, $120, spring is too stiff for me, I want a Blitz SS or Apexi Twin Chamber.

LOL sorry. I thought there were enough of them to go around.

BTW, I picked up my Blitz SS BOV up on ebay for $102, from a guy in Japan. It was used, off of a MR2, but I cleaned it up and you would think its new.
