Default Intercooler questions

Yeah yeah I know. Get a FMIC. The story is way too long as to why I don't have a FMIC yet. 14B running 10 lbs on a d16z6 93 Auto DelSolSi. The pistons, rings & head gasket R being swapped for JE low compression pistons & Eagle rods, at the same time 440 injectors w/Greddy Emanage R being installed . Already have a 2.5" downpipe going to a 2X resonator wil a flow through muffler (no cat). The IC is probably about a month away. This car is not a racer. Daily driver. Should I just leave the car in the garage until then. 2nd Ques. Some people say get a big *** IC, others say don't block the small radiator. Suggestions ?

I wouldnt drive it personally, or lower the boost. Big ICs look good. But really arent necessary for 10psi. Just go with your basic front mount, and your good.

Keeping the auto unitl it goes or I sell it. If I keep it, I'll do a conversion to manual at that time. The DelSol isn't my first choice for a manual. Huge steering wheel w/a poor turning ratio. Tight turns can require both hands.
