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. 
|
So you're telling me the larger the intercooler, the greater the pressure drop? Of course there will be a pressure drop, cooler air = more dense = lower pressure. This is what the intercooler is supposed to do, it's a GOOD thing.
