How about a list of part cars that are good sources of variable turbos and intercoolers? Preferably ones that can be found in a junkyard.

There aren't any, yet. All the vehicles equipped with VNT turbos are still too new and valuable (costly) to be purchased and profitably parted out by junkyards. Give it about 5-10 years when their auction prices get below $2000 and they will start showing up.

Maybe totaled cars.

as for intercoolers I found a couple eclipse and talon air to air intercoolers, you can use small radiators, oil or tranny coolers for a water circuit on a air to water frozenboost.com and siliconeintakes.com are at least worth parusing.

Saab's are also popular - most are turbo and Ic'd (A-A) and they're a hig rate of them dying (damn 9-3 sludge engines)
