Question Which Intercooler???

I'm really liking the GReddy 2-row I/C for stock twins. It looks nice, performs well, and is only $1100. The only problem is that I plan on going single turbo in a year or so. I don't want to have to buy a NEW I/C just so I can have a single T04S. Do you think the GReddy 2-row would work with a t04S set-up for 400-450 hp at 15 psi? What other front mount I/Cs are good and relatively cheap-ish? Thanks!

The Greddy 2 row will run well up to around 15psi. after that you'll max out the efficiency of the intercooler, then you need the 3 row, so decide how much boost your going to run, and stick with it, or uprgrade.

since when are intercoolers rated by 'rows' ?
What happened to core size, volume measurments? Rows is for radiators...

Hehehe... it got lost in all that shine and hype along with thermal efficiency, ambient side face velocity, and pressure drop.

Cool

I know the I/C's aren't rated by rows, calm-down! I'm just sayin' that's the way GReddy has them named, they've got a 2-row that is for 15 or less psi and a 3-row that is 15+ psi. They also have a 2-row for GReddy single turbo kits. Does anyone know if the piping to these I/C kits are the same? Stock joining locations, etc.? Thanks!
