Hiya chaps

would this be OK for a rex ? : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/mercedes-sprinter-VW-LG-van-intercooler_W0QQitemZ4582210025QQcategoryZ10398QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

all i know that it cools air - but does fitting a larger one cause problems ?? is there a specific size you should look for , would a HUGE one have a reverse effect

Thanks

From my understanding it should be OK, as long as the new IC can flow the amount of air your turbo/s are pushing out. if the intercoolers air flow rate is less than your turbos produce then it will actualy reduce the power out put of the vehicle!!
You\'d be better off looking at a Sunny GTiR IC and front mount that insted of the van one you have linked!

Looks like its got plastic end tanks it will be OK for low boost but if you turn the boost up too much they have a habit of blowing the end tanks from the core as they are only clipped together.
