MMMMM....front mount...got a sweet Volvo 760 intercooler off Ebay for the cool price of $50... It's friggin HUGE. Bigger than my radiator. For size comparison, the top pic is of my current intercooler next to the volvo unit...hehe :D

extrememly efficient, the saying goes...the bigger your intercooler (surface area) the more power you will have. the more cold air (front mount as opposed to hot air top mount) you have coming in, the more power going out.

that's not completely true. if you have one too big or one that flows shit, you're going to have a big pressure drop.
but i think i've heard of volvo ones being good, and you guys backed it up. cool.
