I have a stock block / stock turbo / stock boost system car that I autocross, and the rules for my class have been updated to allow intercooler swaps this year. No piping changes are allowed, so it needs to stay as a side mount.
The OEM is 8x7x2.5, looks like I have space to fit a custom intercooler that is also 8x7 but can be up to 6" thick.
Should I try to make it as large as possible or not? Even on an optimistic Dyno this car is unlikely to be much over 200whp.
The only changes that have been done to the car that could affect boost are a tubular O2 housing with the wastegate path welded half shut and a 2.5" downpipe to high flow cat that dumps underneath the car just past the driver.
