2 Are much more efficient than 1 Thick one provided air is channelled between them.

I`d say he`ll be loosing a lot of boost pressure through that bad boy.
Not sure about an iron block either.

Afraid its just you tongue out


One intercooler, twin turbo. Inlets pair up to a single outlet to the engine. He certainly wont be losing pressure through it, as it looks adequately sized. You'll only lose pressure if there are restrictions. Although the pre-IC plumbing isnt perhaps ideal, especially from the drivers side turbo.

That intercooler is twice the size of mine and Harrys and neither of us have any cooling problems so I`d say its a tad large for his power requirements. At best it`ll be more laggy than it need be.

I`m guessing the outlet is waayy smaller than those nice inlets.

The IC is big for sure. But depends on boost, power, car usage etc etc as to whether its ok or not. Generally bigger is always better. And with a 7.0 or whatever size it is, I dont see any lag being an issue. The amount of air being moved every second comapared to the actual volume of the plumbing/IC is massive. There is no way a driver would feel any difference in spool time between that and a slightly smaller IC.

If the car was say a drift car, then you really would need a huge IC, as the car wont always be travelling forwards, and lots of throttle would be used all the time.
Also depends on ambient temps. Where he lives could be very warm, so again bigger is most definately better.

Inlet plumbing does look a little small though, cant be much more than 2.25" or so. Probably fine though.
Outlet just looks typical 3", perfectly fine. Probably just looks so odd given how big the IC is.
