What kind of intercooler is this?? PIC INSIDE

I saw this TII intercooler for sale, and was wondering if anyone knew what brand it was and whether or not it would be a worthwhile addition to my TII? From what I can tell it looks like a top-mount intercooler, but bigger. Anyone have any experience with this type of IC? I don't want to go with the hassle/expense of a front mount setup for now, so I thought this might be a good compromise.

Yeah, thats kind of what I was thinking too. its hard to tell how big it is without a car or engine for reference, anyhow, I just wanted to make sure. I've never seen one without the trim and all. OK, so anyone got any other ideas about helping the intercooler efficiency WIYHOUT resorting to a front mount setup? Front mounts are great, but kind of $$$. We put a water spray system on my brother's MR2 that sprays ice water on the intercooler when you hit a switch, and I will probably do that on my TII as well. Besides that, any ideas? Thanks guys!

A Water spray helps, but the top mount location of the stock IC doesnt do very well with this setup.

You would be better off spending ~$400 on a good water/alchole injection system.

A pack of cigarettes or a CD case next to the item in a picture is always good to get an idea of the size. Like in scientific photos from in the field when they put a pencil or a ruler in the photo for reference of size.

Hey RX-7 Kid I tend to agree with the fact it is non mazda. That fitting on the back looks nothing like a stock fitting. The small one

Trust me, it's a stocker. I've got three of those things in the garage. In fact I'm holding one of them in my hands to compare to the photo! It's exactly the same. Same number of tubes (21), same mounting brackets, same holes to rivet the trim to.
