I'd recommend doing what you can to keep the full sized, but then again, having the half sized makes it easier to clear the manifold/turbo/DP/Dumptube setup.

using the half size makes everything easier. with the intercooler, then when it comes to mounting the turbo and mani, its to tight of a squeez for everything to fit in there so i say half size ftw

You can't be that dumb... can you? :l I imagine with the front end shot your monitor is just too dark, but you can't even tell its an intercooler on the bucket?

In the EF chassis it kinda sucks. You have to either rock it on gangsta lean, modify the lower radiator support, chop the inner lining of the hood, or a combination of all 3 to get it to fit, but once its in there you'll be surprised the amount of space thats opened up.
Here's how I had mine in on my old EF:

The OEM 92-00 radiators are not as thick, and also a little taller than the ebay units, you should have an easier time getting it to fit.

If you go eBay style make sure you check the thickness. I got one that was only 2/3 the thickness of the last eBay one I bought. Same price, same seller as a year ago, but shittier product.
