A lot of people use Volvo innercoolers with good success.

The only thing to watch for with the Volvo is the plastic tanks.

I agree, you need to run an I/C with the 88 T/C set up, and the stock I/C location will not work in a Pinto without ductwork. Almost any I/C will do, but try to get one at least the same size as the stock one.

BTW: I am running a stock T/C I/C as a FMIC in my Pinto.

Don't forget about the Small Isuzu NPR!
There is somone on this site or TurboPinto.com, that has one installed with pics. That's what I am looking for. Only down side is, either has to be Plummed for it or a Rotated Upper Intake is required since it comes out on either side of the Rad.
