i have a 26x6x3 and thats worked fine . the idea here is to take off your bumper...and measure everything out so that you can get the biggest cooler you can fit in there.
as far as running 15-16psi. i had to add water injection to be able to safely do that on my car. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

m gunna push a large IC idea more than anything. i could free boost 20+ psi with no signs of knock, and this "pressure drop" thing is pretty much un noticeable and effects lag minimally.
