don't forget that you will have to fill a huge IC before you see any boost at the manifold. You will always be better off with a smaller efficient IC than a dirty great big inefficient truck cooler.
But if you like the idea of lag, go right ahead.

I often hear this argument, but personal experience has shown it's not a significant issue. My own intercooler has a huge internal volume, but there's no way you could call my car laggy when I'm hitting 5psi before 2000rpm!
A friend of mine has a cut-down truck cooler in his VL turbo, and it's one of the biggest coolers I've seen in a VL (he actually had to hack off the end of the chassis rails to make it fit), but once again he doesn't have any lag issues at all - in fact his engine gets on boost almost as quickly as mine. This is with the stock turbo and management BTW.
It could be said that the relatively small turbos and relatively large engine capacity is what makes the difference in the above examples, and while that may be true I think the point remains that turbo sizing is far more important than intercooler sizing when it comes to lag.
