Default What intercooler size for a Del Sol?

I tried the search function for this forum but all i got was one with an eclipse side mount, mounted by the wheel liner. I'd like to keep my front bumper somewhat in tact so that i can hide it the best i can. Or if anyone sells black anodized ones like full race does lemme know

Tyrus, 6inch. Johnnyracecar.com Fits good! It's a little long, but if you're **** about it, a lip will take care of it

Since del sols dont come with turbos, it helps to know how much boost and what size turbo it's being used on...

well i'm shooting for 300 horsepower with an Innovative GT61R ("sc61/gt35 killer")

anywhere between 8-10 psi (stock internals for now)

i already have a lip so that won't be a problem. I kind of want to keep the little piece of plastic in the mouth opening if i can but if not it's no biggie

you can just paint it yourself, I did that with mine. One side black, for every day, and one side normal for when you want to show it off.......comes out good if you take your time.

&lt;joking&gt; For a Del Sol? Just turn a Crazy Straw sideways, and jam it right up front. You may have to trim it a little to fit, but I hear you can get them in different colors to match your paint&lt;/joking&gt;

yea overkill for 8.7 but why waste your money on a small one and then have to buy a big one to support higher boost!
