Well more importantly, how much power are you looking at getting? That will determine the size IC you need. You can always cut the bumper support and other things to accomodate larger IC's.

sounds like a 400whp combo with that turbo. are you building the h23 by any chance?

If you are going for 400, run at least a 8x3x24" core intercooler.

800-1000 is not enough to go into the internals.

Just finish your turbo set-up, invest in a nice EMS, have it tuned, and do not go anymore then 8psi if this is your daily driver. Also, I have a GUDE intake manifold I ran on my old set-up if you are interested in purchasing it. It is a great addition when going FI on the h23a motor.
