Default rx7 intercoolers?

Ok, I'm pretty set on getting an rx7 intercooler for my custom setup.

now I'm wondering, which do you guys think would be better to get, the older turboII style intercooler,
or the newer 3rdgen rx7 intercooler.

the turboII has an opening on its side, and out its back.
and the 3rdgen has two both on the back.

neither would be optimal(both on sides) but ****.. i'll make do, they're hella cheap, compared to starion intercoolers.

So what do you guys think?
heres a pic of the turboII ic http://ebay3.ipixmedia.com/abc/M28/_...a00696/i-1.JPG
and the 3rd gen ic

If you can get them to fit, I'd think they be good till 10-12psi, they are kinda ugly, but who cares...

Don't the 3rd gen intercoolers have plastic endtanks? Something to think about if you have to modify them.

You should get one of those sexy intercoolers like the one Jeff has on his car. But then again 33 dollars sounds a whole lot nicer than 220.
