Hmmmm, why do you want to change the stock intercooler?Are you going to change the stock turbo?Or raise the boost???
I dont think its necessary for standart Turbo to get Aftermarket Intercooler.

If it is an ST185 3sgte, then the stock intercooler will do no good, seeing as it's a top-mount. With the ST205 hood, very minimal air will get to the TMIC, which will cause a great amount of heatsoak, thus requiring the moving of the intercooler to the front, seeing as how an aftermarket FMIC would be much cheaper than the ST205 W/A intercooler setup. -John- -------------------- AIM==Mynzeyes

There is a custom made 3rd Gen 3SGTE W/A intercooler that can handle 450+ WHP on ebay if you are intersted, which may be better than a FMIC you are looking for since there is less piping.
