It all kinda depends on what your planning to do...

Air to Air intercooler, Water to Air intercooler?

What size lines do you want?

I believe the Front mount intercooler size that everyone agrees on is a
31 x 12 x 3

With 3" in and out, then you can get 3" intercooler piping and 3" silcone.

The oil lin kit, I know can be had for about 25 bucks for a t70 I dont know about th 76

Go with a tc76. Spools fast and will leave you room to turn it up later down the road to the tune of about 800 rwhp+.
