If im not mistaken i remember reading the greddy 2-row is most efficiant around 15lbs of boost. I dont know what the 3-row is like but i would imagine its more than 15lbs.

2 row is like an upgrade for the stock turbos (not too high boost like the other guys have said). 3 row for single turbo with higher boost and for when you plan on leaving Porsche drivers and the like scratching their heads, wondering what just passed them.

go with the 3 row... u wont realize too much of a difference at the psi, but when(if) you upgrade you wont have to buy another IC.

well if you stay 15 or less 2 row would be fine...but i would say 3 row in case you want to go higher down the road and it couldnt hurt anything...BUT wouldnt the easiest settup be to use the apexi ic?

Not sure the core size but I went with the greddy 2 row. The 3 row is the same physical measurment as the 2 row but the 3 row is 2 inches thicker. Went with the 2 row because im not going to be going over 15 psi and did'nt want to deal with the extra thickness on a hot summer day in san diego. @ row is rated up to 18 psi and the 3 row is rated 15 psi and above. Quoted from greddy. Thanks fors the input.

I thought the 3 row was 4.5" thick. If a 2 row is 3", then that would make a 1 row 1.5", therefore a 3 row would have to equal 4.5" thick.

At any rate, if the 3 row is the same width and height, then what's the size of the 2 row!?
