Yes it's a 3g, but none the less...
Crash bar was cut to make room.
You can spent a million dollars on an intercooler if you really want a name brand (ETS, HKS, AMS, etc). Like anything however there are parts that are more appropriately priced. If you are a DIYer like me there is no reason to get the big bucks coolers. Treadstone makes VERY high quality intercoolers, beefy end tanks and very dense bar/plate cores. The prices reflect what they're worth, no stupid mark up. On 15 pounds my IAT's were no more than 35 degrees above ambient and that is insane efficiency.
A very important aspect in intercooling is your piping size. Remember you have to fill every bit of volume in the pipes with boost before the engine really gets it. Take note the outlet of your turbo, unless you're running a turbo capable of 4 digits on the ground chances are it's between 1.5 and 2.25 inches. 2.25 piping is fantastic for moderate builds so long as it isn't full of bad joints. It fills quick and still delivers the air efficiently; the less expand-back you have the less pressure drop and the more power you make for a given boost level, not to mention quicker spool. I personally run 2.5" to cooler and 2.75" to throttle body and that's on a 3.6 running 15 pounds at about 600 crank.
