or this one?
this is off of a volvo I believe and it measures 23 1/2" wide X 17 1/2 tall X (only) 1 1/2" thick. Witch one of these intercoolers do you guys think would be better? Thanks.
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.

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)
Have any of you guys seen this site. They make custom IC's any size for pretty good prices. Check it out!
