intercooler install pics?

I was curious if anyone had pics of an intercooler install on their car. perhaps shots of the front frame with the bumper and intercooler off the car. Also curious what the biggest core avilable is for the evo. I know about AMS's core, but is there any bigger? What do you guys all run?
thanks
Albert

I have the AMS Intercooler and I don't think a larger one would fit behind the factory bumber with out making the front edge of the the FMIC curved to match the contour of the bumber. My AMS FMIC is right up to the lower grill on my evo..

I didnt necessarily mean thicker, but longer and taller. Do you have any pics of the car with the fmic and bumper off? Im curious as to what the sub frame looks like.

You can see it peeking over in the slots in the front bumber above the main opening in the first pick, it is taller an thicker and wow was there a good difference in how fast the turbo spooled up.

The only way to get bigger is to ditch the bumber and get smaller end tanks, which decrease flow if they get smaller. if you really want to cool the thing that bad, get a Co2 kit

this is why i was asking for pics of what it looked like with out the bumper on, and the intercooler off. I am possibly looking at developing a full kit, not just one that bolts up to stock piping. Im not going to perpetuate this by asking vague questions, if you have pictures... cool, If not ill just have to buy my own evo.

Here's a picture of the under part of the I/C. You can see where I had to cut the undert tray. Crude cut. I/C doesn't
hang much lower than the udner tray, still had to cut it out though. Crummy picture but what the hell.
