when putting an inter cooler on a gu 4.2 td is the bigger the better? i have a 700x300 that i could top mount but not sure if its to big.
have the standard turbo but also have the 3" exhaust. would the boost need to be turned up?
cheers.

With the 3" exhaust you should find that the boost has come up already due to the turbo spooling up faster now that the exhaust housing flows better.
isnt the GU 4.2 TD a front mount intercooler, in my opinion its better than a top mount which can suffer heat soak when standing still.

GU 4.2's have top mount.
top/front both have downers.
fronts can get staked, or damaged in road accidents, or sliding into banks, branches or etc etc...
