Have you considered going out to your garage, grabbing a tape measure and actually measuring the available space? Or do you expect someone else to do it for you and report the results here?

About 600x300x90 is getting on the biggest you can fit without too much hassle.

Fit bigger with some cutting though.

thanks for that wastegate 
is that your car? if so have you got more pics? like the piping etc
So nothing was cut in order to fit the cooler and the pipe work? Just some custom mounts?

Here are some more photos

The only cutting I did was the latch support (trimming is more realistic) and a metal panel behind the passinger driving light to fit the 3" SS piping though.

so wastegate got you to do it all?
did the piping come with it? may i ask how much the set up was? and if it included the piping?
Or does anyone know where i can get a reasonable priced set up for a MA70 7mgte?

Little bitch!
I mounted it and did the piping for it. 7m-Brisbane helped out with where to run the piping on one saturday morning, we cut the piping and got some tape to hold them in place while another friend (Bulter Metalcraft in Burleigh) Tig welded them for me.
All up the piping itself cost $200 + the cost for silicon joins and T-Bolt clamps + ~$300. I firmly beleive it's as good as a shop if not better for half the price.

I know that the Greddy 3 row that is desgined for the mkIV supra will fit in there with no cutting. For pics check out 7Mpower.com and look at will neely's car. Through many hours of testing on the dyno, we found that it was impossible to heat soak this IC. A very good unit if you have the money.
