Default intercooler sizing

I have a 98 civic, what size cooler can I use that will handle 500hp but still fit behind the oem bumper? I know I will prolly have to cut the bumper support out but I don't want a cooler that hangs lower than the front bumper cover. Some pics of people with big intercoolers on a ek would be helpful
