Depends how much you want/need working AC. Here in Boise, we get temps of 100-105F in summer, and no AC would really be a drag. Now in Montana or North Dakota, no problem (especially if the AC is already broken!). I don't think there will be any advantage to the "oversized" intercooler unless your target power gain is well above 20%. If you want 40-50% or more, then yeah, the bigger cooler is probably needed, but so is a custom aftermarket turbocharger, etc etc... is it really worth the effort & cost? Not to mention the probability of bottom end failures increase exponentially as the power output rises (IMO).
