I wouldn't say you need any upgrade after putting in the Efini Twins.

If you are just swithing the turbo's but not tuning for more boost then you can keep the same intercooler. It is not necessary to upgrade. But if you are planning on upgrading the intercooler anyway or upping the boost then I would say any aftermaket SMIC. If you are wondering which intercooler brand...its just up to you...their is no significant difference between one brand and another. Greddy, Arc, Blitz have a design like the stock I/C though.

They are smaller and can handle a little more boost.

The ARC and Blitz are rare and difficult to find, and the Greddy is very expensive. I JUST sold my ARC and bought the Greddy, as the ARC appears to be more for close to stock cars with normal boost settings.

You can use any intercooler that works with stock twins. The Efini twins are very similar with only minor differences.

Pretty much the same amount as the stock '93-95 turbos.

No matter what turbo(s) you've got, you should look to have the largest, most efficient intercooler you can get... these cars need all the charge cooling they can get.
