I have yet to see this happen in the real world. The internal volume of a large intercooler is insignificant compared to the amount of air your typical turbo is pushing. Ahhh, its not just the volume, but the static pressure drop that will cause issues. A larger intercooler (assuming the core is the same as a smaller version) will by definition have a larger internal surface area. Now if you're not actually using this larger surface area to lower the temperature of the charge air significantly, all you are achieving is reduced air velocity, meaning a high static pressure drop across the cooler.
