Default Junkyard Intercoolers (What cars to look for?)

Just wondering if we could start a list of cars to look for while going to a junkyard for cars that we could use intercoolers approximately what size they are. Even possibly just create a list of cars that have useful parts for any of us Turbo builders.

As of right now I only know of....

2000 and up 1.8 Turbo VW's - IC is about 1ft x 2ft

Cars to look for:

Turbocharged cars.
Supercharged cars.

Intercooler size: About so" x so" give are take. And yes, I know that I'm a smart ***. - Matt

Mitsubishi Starions and Chrysler Conquests have nice factory coolers, as well as the new Lancer Evos.

The SRT IC LOOKS HUGE, but really isn't that big, its very short and very long, but its almost impossible that it maxes out at 250Whp, b/c SRTs normally dyno at close to 250Whp from the factory..

Dodge lied, but its a good thing... Kinda.... Dodge also claims it goes 0-60 in 5.6sec, but its much faster, more like 5.1sec..

The volvo Ic is also too damn big to fit in a civic IMO, anyone wanna buy one ?? Hehe..

Here's a few..

This makes you wonder how hard it would be to go to a Dodge Dealership and find a SRT in the back and stop by late at night to just take the IC off. I wonder how long it would take and if its possible haha
