well, it kicks the crap out of a lot of top mount intercoolers, but euqally, as far as front mounts go it's pretty ordinary. If you';re just gonna run stock boost (yeah right) it'd be fine. you'd be suprised what size intercoolers there are available out there... you may not have to go custom.

And you pay through the arse for them. If the guy is using a JZA70 intercooler he obviously doesn't have money to burn!

yeah, damn they are expensive!
definitely no money to burn here!
one thing on that site that I found interesting was when they were talking about the efficiency ranges of turbos and different size intercoolers. If I am getting a single turbo and running relatively low boost for it, then there will be less heat than stock turbos running the same boost and therefore a larger intercooler would be needed more with stock turbos than a large one.
That is what I read on that site anyway

Yes you won't have as much heat to dissipate, but you also need to consider the pressure drop from the internal resistance of the intercooler. It's well known that MA70 intercoolers lose 3-4psi on a boosted 7M, and I imagine the JZA70 coolers aren't much better. There's not much point having an upgraded turbo if the air is still being squeezed through that restrictive piece of crap!
