Message isn't that overkill for stock turbos? Putting it another way, aren't those way too big for stock turbos? Also, aren't those intercoolers just plain too big for the car? It looks like there would be fairly poor flow *through* the fins of the intercooler, since they are angled they way they are. Coupled with the fact that the opening on the jspec fascia further exacerbates this angle with respect to incoming air, the loss should be measureable. Even with ducting, it seems that a slightly smaller intercooler that fits the space on the car would see substantially better flow through the fins, better efficiency, and more power since you're getting more cooling out of the same space. I didn't watch the videos, because the website was running slow, forget i asked if the videos cover this.
