wich intercooler is better? pics

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.
