Default Which intercooler for an STS?

I have an STS turbo on a 1999 SS with a 382 stroker. Stock heads/cam/intake/exhaust. Has an upgraded fuel system and 8.85:1 compression aftermarket pistons and crankshaft. It also has the methanol injection system. I want to know if their is a certain intercooler you guys prefer? I've read a couple of threads about texas turbo's intercooler but what else would I need to get his working and are they always mounted in the front of the car?

Thanks

www.trtturbo.com These guys are selling a OBX for $290 I think. Thats a great deal. You just get the core and end tanks you will have to fab up all the ic pipeing and get some couplings and clamps. You will have to get a little welding done like the flange for the BOV and some of the pipes. This way might cost you $400-600(a complete kit) depending on what pipes and stuff you use. There a sponsor on here that sells a complete kit for STS cars I think it runs for like $1100.

Sounds good, I'm debating on whether or not to get the intercooler with the stock sts turbo that came with my car or wait on the intercooler and get the GT67 turbo from STS.

Go with the intercooler. Max out the base turbo then step it up. I just can't see runnin a turbo kit without a FMIC. I know people do but I think there more power to be unlocked with the IC.
