what is your budget?

late 80s Volvo: $20-80
Starion: $80-200
Izusu NPR med: $120-250
Izusu NPR large: $160-300

There's all kinds of grassroots you can try. Some try welding two TII intercoolers together. Check ebay if you're looking for cheap.

they dont use them for top mount, they use them for front mount.

i have an extra TII IC, i took the top and bottom shielding off held in by rivets, and im going to try to mount it on the front see what the diff is.
