Keep the type 24 it will be fine and then you won't have to re- mount the other one but it's your choice.

I agree, why add more work, unless you think the type 24 won't handle your application, but I think your fine

The precision will cool more, but the greddy will flow more.

Did you have to cut your bumper support to fit the type 24 in?

keep the greddy . . . it will be perfectly fine with you and save you the hassle of selling it and installing the other one.

Arturbo: I was hoping someone else would ask but...

It is better for an intercooler to cool more instead of flow more? And what would make it a difference?

Higher boost levels, is more cooling nedded even though the turbine is going to compress more air?? Is keeping the greddy going to make more more on the dyno than the Precision?
As fore the core sizes i duno?

keep the Greddy since you already have it. Spend money on tuning or other go fast parts.

FMIC are overated... as long as it cools well enough your fine.

thats what I had to do too. I have that model Precision on my Accord (kick *** IC) and i had to turn it up and stick it behind the support by cutting some out. Gots to love the dremel!
