Johnnyracecar FMIC
I need some help to decide which of his three designs I should buy for my D16Z6 turbo. Which would/should be the best choice? Some of my mods are: mild ported head, Zex 59300 cam and T3 turbo A/R 60/48 (aka super 60)from a Ford Merkur XR4TI. Please share your experience or opinion.
I apologize if this issue was addressed before. I am just too lazy to search the forum.
Thanks in advance for all the help.

1. People saying CCA is better than Tyrus
2. Is NX intercooler better than water to air
3. Someone asked if he should choose a T3 or T3/T4
There is no discussion about choosing one of the three sizes of Tyruss intercoolers and which works better. Did I missed it? I doubt it.

Basic rule, you can never go too large with an intercooler. I've never seen a downside to it. Get the biggest one you can afford and fit in your car.
Also turbo lag is completely overrated. The benefits of having a good intercooler outweighs turbolag. Turbolag is a form of traction control...

Also if you worried about lag that much look at a different style intercooler. Longer ones will have more lag and pressure drop than ones that are taller. So if you get one that's 8 or 10 inches tall and shorter, it will be more efficient
It never hurts to leave room for upgrading.
