And much is said in Corky Bell's book "Maximum Boost" (which is quite easy to read). The longer the path for the air to travel, the more time it has to lose heat going from the hot turbo end, to the cool inlet manifoldend, so that it can ultimately become cooler. The greater the cross sectional area of the core (thickness of core X vertical height in a front mount), the less resistance that the air has to get to the other tank (i.e. the lower pressure drop). The thicker the core, the more resistance there is for air to pass through the core and get to your radiator (depends on tube spacing and fins). Basically - I dunno - get the biggest one that will fit. Or, you can model your sizes on a name brand who hopefully has done some sort of research into packaging/benefits (i.e. HKS) [Report message to a moderator]
