no matter what, these cars are not designed for intercoolers.
you will have to knotch out the bumper support
you WILL have to modify some of the aluminum pipes, or get really creative.

look for intercoolers for 240s, supras, skylines, etc.

that is just the intercooler though, and you would have to order ALL of your piping

that appears to be the kit that I used for my car

Its 2.5" - it would but I would go 3" at least. Bigger if you are making serious power.

There won't be a direct fit kit out there - you will have to do some cutting. If you can't / don't weld you can use pre bent stuff and lots of couplers, but that will cost more and have more points for stuff to come apart.

It was good info. Either way there will be some cutting and welding.

I use a Spearco (25x3x12 core dimensions) IC. Mounted under, behind the rad with a low air deflector. Not a front mount bumper IC. Not conventional @ all with the masses, but, very good air flow thru the core with a large air duct. I also moved the rad forward and that helped alot with the air flow. I do question the air flow thru a front mount IC with a rad behind it. Also, the added weight on the front bumper can further bias more weight up front. OK for a drag car. Hard pipe air ducting is fairly easy to fab with a Miller MIG welder and a good saw. 97ss 383 D1 M6. B.

I just went to ebay and purchased a piping kit. I actually had piping left over but it is entirely dependent on how you decide to route the setup. You'll need some additional couplers like Transitions to go from your up pipe to your turbo/supercharger, MAF and throttle body. Be sure to get access to or purchase a bead roller for those ends of the piping that you cut. If there's no bead for the couplers to grip upon, you'll find the pipes pop apart under boost with infuriating regularity.
