More to the point, how much power do you want to make and what is your budget?

I have a 93+ engine and transmission out of a fd it's twin turbo and I'm putting it in a b2200 I have it in there with a 3' downpipe and I have to get a intercooler and well I'm keeping the motor stock for now and I need to know what size intercooler to get that will not kill my power since I'm keeping the motor stock. Any suggestions are appreciated thsnks

Just a reasonably sized core will do the job. Something like 20" x 18" x 3". Anything around that size.

Of course, you're going to be running a standalone, right?
