It's made for a V8 car. Sorry the IC you bought from me didn't work out for you. I was going for bigger power, so I thought I needed a much bigger IC (higher flowing CFM). Honestly, I didn't pick up much power as far as I could tell from my butt dyno, and the turbo was laggier due to the increased volume of going from 2.5" ducting and IC to 3".
Point is, the IC I sold you was adequate for my estimated 600+hp.
Anyways, I had to cut off both inlet and outlet pipes and move to different locations. I also added bosses to mount it flat instead of vertical like a V8 car has it. It was a decent amount of work to make happen, but I am totally happy I'll never have to buy another IC again as it's good to 1300hp I think.

Dear Tippy,
I want to use the same intercooler for my build. So you assume it is too big?
I see from your signature you are using the 964 intake manifold and have the IC centrally connected, as opposed to using a bend like the turbokraft and others. Do you have a picture of the connection?
Usual connetion for the turbokraft I/C and others with a bend to the centrall located throttle body (or ITBS)
EDIT: Picture not displaying properly and for whatever reason I cant upload the right version.
Planned treadstone setup (having to reweld both inlet and outlet.)
