Default Intercooler Suggestions...

I'm doing a complete custome turbo kit on my '01 ITR. I'll most likely go with the Manifold, turbo and Downpipe from Maxrev. I wanted to get suggestions on a good FMIC to go with. I was thinking about the "Large" one from Greddy due to the fact that it is designed for Integra's and I would like the whole kit for ease of installation. Any good bolt on intercooler's available? I've owned two Turbocharged Honda's before and can easily handle and modifications needed to the piping etc. so any ideas are welcomed.
Thanks a lot.
Also, good places to order from are welcomed also.

Just out of boredom, here's my old Si(Greddy D series kit w/ intercooler, Type S BOV, and HKS Manifold)

Personally, I think the XS Engineering Silvia core works, looks, and fits well for a custom kit. Here is a pick of that core on my buddy's 92 Civic:

You can get the IC with APEXi Endtanks from http://www.xs-engineering.com

Damn,
That thing is beautiful!! Would I need to chop the hell out of my front bumper to get that bad boy in there? I want to retain as much of the bumper material as possible.
Thanks for the info.

We took the bumper support out! There are trade offs when building a fast car! It comes with the territory!

So I suppose since I don't want to chop up my ITR I'll have to try another Intercooler.
The Intercooler on my old Si is the regular small Intercooler that goes with the Greddy D series kit. It's pretty small but functiional, and I didn't chop the inside of my bumper at all

You don't have to cut the bumper, but you will have to take out the bumper support! You might be able to cut the bumper support rather than get rid of it, we just didn't try!

Lol, i'll try and get the POS digital camera out and snap some photos of mine, it's just a DRAG III setup, but in an LS power 88 CRX HF..........The HF bumper wieghs like 7lbs and the metal support underneath is non-existant. Good ol light weight profiling straight from the factory So i'm not really losing much by not having a bumper support........although it would have been nice to have when mounting my I/C............ugh I wish it wasn't dalylights savings time and wasn't cold, i'd be done installing by now.
