Several reasons. Firstly being packaging space. I wanted to make sure I had enough room to run my air filter into fresh air.
Secondly intercoolers loose efficiency the wider you go. If I went wider, in order to get one that would be able to handle the upper range of my flow rate would have made it prohibitively tall. So I kept it as short (width) wise as I could and increased the depth to bring it above my needs for flow. Also wanted to keep the overall volume of the system as low as possible to help with boost response.

Also.... if you get up here early enough on the 20th, I sense some dimple dieing and powdercoating  |
Is there a reason to get rid of the Greddy? Does it leak at higher pressures?
Dimple dieing perhaps. I wanted to ceramic coat the piping though. Also kinda want to get it running and make sure it doesn't have a pinhole somewhere before coating

Yea that'a s professional fabricator for a race team, so you would expect the quality to be high, but it's nice to have something to shoot for
