Alright guys

after posting about what do to about the stock turbo and it's stock boost settings, I'm going to try and mount a stock gst or gsx intercooler somewhere on my car even though it won't fit in my side well (i was thinking somehow fabricate a bracket near the bottom of the car if the stock I/c's are small enough) . now my basic questions are: how do I tell if a intercooler is in good condition or now? or if it will even work? what's the diff between the stock 1g and 2g i/c's? which one is better. Thanks guys, and please.....please please please spare me the "You should've bought a HRC or star" originally I had somebody knowledgable on this subject helping me but that person is going through some issues so it's up to me to finish piecing together this thing. Thanks again
