In the near future I am going to install a turbo on my car...But it is going to be a custom setup.This will be for an ecotec. any recommendations for intercoolers? or where to get them? I was thinking ebay...
Does anyone know if an intercooler that comes in and out on the same side works as good as one that goes in one side of the car and exits out the other?
I was thinking that the one kind that goes in and out the same side wouldn't quite cool as well because the cold and hot piping is running right beside each other...
Any opinions are appreciated!

Which would be best the 6in or the 8in? ( I'll be running about 6-8 lbs of boost.

you won't need anything larger than the 6" classic. It's their most popular intercooler and it works like a champ.

FYI. The JRC ICs are very good for the money. The DSMers are using them with good results. I prefer B&P IC's but that is just my preferance. I don't like the pressure drop on T&F IC's. On a side note most all B&P (Bar and Plate) IC's are stronger fins that don't bend so easy as must T&F (tube and fin) have thinner fins that bend very easy like just brushing your hand over them.
At you boost levels almost any IC will work for you. You can pick up conquest IC's for dirt cheap. Or get a EVO VIII IC as they are very cheap as well. Hell you can go with a stock SMIC of a DSM picked up for around $50 and it would be a nice stealth install.
Maglin
92 Talon TSI AWD Turbo (HX-35 @ 25 PSI on Pump) 400 AWHP
99 Sunfire (Mostly stock, Lowered w/wheels) Soon to see boost.
the classics are currently unavailable, but it looks like a great price for an intercooler. what are the limitations on size for our cars ? using stock bumper of sunfire 2004
15.891 @ 88 mph stock, still getting @!#$ty launches...
i would just pick up a B&P from ebay, i just got one for 175 shipped, was NICE!

anything up to prolly 5 or 6" think i think. also depends on how much you can trim out of your bumper

I'm sure a cheap one would work, but even though this is a budgeted, custom setup, I don't want to skimp out on any of the important parts.
