you want at least 1/3 of the surface area of the intercooler. might be 1/4 but im pretty sure its 1/3.

do yourself a favour and buy an electric fan to put in front of the cooler. I know some people might think it doesn't work....but it does. Just think of the cooler like a rad, without a fan the car runs hot.
