Cobra intercooler fit?

Friend of mine has a 2003 cobra running the stock intercooler. He said that it works well, but is about to be running 24psi from the charger and would need a new one.

I was just wondering if anyone knew if this is a good option for me to pick up for my twin turbo application. Size, mounting, and cooling are my basic concerns.

Cobra IC's are in the valley of the intake unless you made a special intake to house it (would cost more than an air to air), it's not worth it.

I was thinking it was infront of the car, and it was a standard heat exchanger (air to air).

I thought it was the other way could be wrong though. Why not try to find a turbo buick IC. Preferrely a TTA one (same as GNX) You could sometimes find em on the TB boards. With a few bucks in the end tank swap it may work for you......

HTH!
