Best FM Intercooler at higher boost levels in a 3rd gen. (Intercooler Gurus needed)

What types of intercoolers would be most efficient in the 20-25 psi range on a 3rd gen?

I was looking at the NPR medium intercooler but I was told that this intercooler is not efficient at higher boost levels. Is this true?

Also if an intercooler is more efficient at higer boost levels will it also be efficient in the 10-15 psi range as well?

something with a core that's at least 4 inches thick should be suffecient.

i think the greddy 3-row FMIC, the apex-i GT FMIC, and maybe the rx7fashion would be good choices.

i think greddy 3 row will be your best bet. anything bigger than that might cause overheating issues. IF not, the blitz front mount for the formual kit should work.
