the volvo intercooler. Thicker intercoolers do not make up for more surface area (in width and length) Thicker radiators also have problems with heat soak. (heat soak = bad)

The same amount of air is going to move past the same square inch of intercooler, the air will pass quickly through a thin intercooler, cooling off only that 1 1/2" x 1 x 1 of metal. thicker intercooler is going to have that same ammount of air flow by, but need to cool 3" x 1 x 1 of metal. Which one would cool better? the thinner one.

The stealth IC is undersized anyway... stealths use TWO of those, one for each side of the engine.

Oops, I hadn't paid attention to the dimensions, just that you said it was from a stealth. It might be out of a dodge daytona or a chrystler laser then (similar to a mitsu starion)

Here is a pic of an 88 Starion/Conquest Stock FMIC. I was thinking of using it (got it free) but now I’m changing my mind and going with something bigger!
