Default Will this intercooler be enough?? (pics inside)

For about 200whp in a front mount position (max 10psi on a d16z6 and 14b) Its from a vw golf







On a side note, which of the springs is for the front and which is for the rear? (im guessing longer for rear) just got them used

thanks in advance

the thicker spring is for the front.... needs to be bigger for the weight of the motor

Kinda small, I'd rather use a core with more face area and slightly less thickness. Plus I have never been a fan of using plastic endtanks.

Will this one be better? I dont think this core is too efficient though.



One last time, in this foto which spring is for the front, left or right, I dont want to know if thick or thin or long or short just left or right.

The longer spring is for the rear, and those intercoolers suck, their too tiny

The IC to the right is big enough, but it looks pretty shitty. The IC to the left is probably too small, but might work okay...just take that rear cover off.
