Will it be adequate as it's only a single intercooler unlike the forge system ?

It depends on the HP you are running or intend to run. I'm sure it will be fine as the mounting position is better than the original.

I have dealt with TX and Jack the owner many times before. His stuff is OK but just bare in mind its all imported from China.

Not knocking the China market at all, his intercoolers are pretty good quality. For a cheap solution I would say go for it!

As always it's a personal choice but if you are going the route of large turbo conversion and stage 3 expense I would get a dual core like APR, THS, Forge etc. Reducing air intake temp comes into its own with big boost.
