thats a big intercooler for 350rwhp.. i like smaller intercoolers for less lag, but thats just my me. Im running a 12x9x3 fmic, planning on no more than 350rwhp. The highest TB intake temps ive seen so far was ~105 F, in the summer on stock turbo. usually its in the 90's F
the other thing is, with a big *** 12x24 intercooler, only half of it will see direct air flow through the bumper, unless you cut your bumper up.

@Evil Aviator
i really don't see the point why this would be a bad idea?
maybe i will try to explain you the way how i'm thinking... (a little bit hard for me because english is a foreign language for me...)
When i cut the bumper, there would be more direct airflow onto the Intercooler, so more heat from the IC will be transfered from the core to the air flowing trough...
maybe you mean issues with the airflow going trough the FMIC and then trough the water radiator? so that i will "kill" the flow/suck trough the radiator... is this the point?
i'm very intrested why this would be a bad idea... of course i will not cut my bumper when there is no need to cut it... i don't needthe bling* effect, i will paint that thing black for understatement![Wink](https://www.rx7club.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
maybe you can give me a little hint to think that thing over again...
and its no problem if you don't give me the exact answer, i like to get the point by myself... because it has a better learning effect... things you learn with thinking yourself about a problem you will never forget

I will try and find out why this is and if i do post it up for other people who arnt as knowledgeable as yourself.
Sorry for being rude. It wasnt necessissary and i got frustrated as i was looking foward to the answer.
Peace

I believe a good read would be if you look at a book called Street turbocharging by mark warner( werner) i dunno / or maximum boost< classic by corky bell there are some good pages on ducting , physics of air as a fluid, core thickness to realitive cooling capability all kinds of shiz the average Person dosent think about before HACKING up a nice fron end or buying a intercooler that 9" thick
