Im gonna attempt to cram four up front, but I can access a TIG. Makes it alot more affordable. All in all my core should be 24,14,2.5
Its gonna be a lot of work to fit but I really cant justify $500 for a core.

well with a stock compressor I think it would be, but if Im gonna upgrade the IC I may as well only do it once. I already have a "stage1" comp. Ill get a t04 60-1 kit later. Really i shouldnt be that bad because it ICs are fairly thin.

i took two and had them tig welded together makes a good size core and if you use the short end caps you have two ends already pointing to you engine, as for 4 of them that sound like mad pressure drop.
