A2W intercooler setup questions

A2W intercooler setup questions
So after Txsilverado made the post about interchillers, my gears have been turning ever since.
I am excited to be trying something new to me (and alot of others).
I will be using an A2W intercooler with the active interchiller. I have no experience with a2w much less the AI.
So i'm looking for an intercooler to buy. I am not looking to get a chiseled or custom Garrett core made. Looking to use an ebay intercooler. If i wasn't using the AI then i would be spending the money for a "good one" but I think i will be pleased with the ebay and AI. Anyways, I'm looking to get a big one so it will be most effective.
Motor is forged rod/piston 6.0 with s475 T4 but will be upgrading to s480.
Eventually looking to make 900ish rwhp or whatever the turbo will give me.
These are 2 1500hp ones that i have looked at so far.

I have pm'd Gadgetized (thanks for answering my questions). Since he is happy with his a2w on the street, I am going to go give it a try. He is running a 1000 hp china a2w and suggested the one in the second link.
Can anyone give me a recommendation on the above a2w intercoolers listed or any other intercooler?

That's a BIG difference in flow area between the 2! I came up with 47.5" & 75" though.

I know you said you where looking for a low quality A2W unit, but have to say, you'll regret it and be spending the money twice when you realize it is garbage.
That said, I'll insert a shameless plug here and let you know that my entire A2W set up is for sale. It worked insanely good (you won't need the other system). It is a "real" Precision PT2000, can come with a 6+ gallon tank with Rule 2000 pump built in and almost all necessary -16 lightweight plumbing to basically do a complete install.

sweet, relevant data from my drive to work this morning.
i have a 5.3 with twin 6662s and this IC:
CXRacing Liquid Water to Air Intercooler 18"x13"x4.5", 4.5" Core: 10"x9"x4.5" | eBay
i modified the coolant ports to use 1" hose.
http://images.couldbeworse.org/IMG_3947.JPG
I have a varimax pump that lingenfelter sells. I do not have a coolant tank, instead the whole capacity of my ic water is a full size radiator as seen here:
http://images.couldbeworse.org/IMG_4460.JPG
here is a pull from this morning, fully up to temp
some highlights:
5.58 seconds of wot
iat starts at 88f, ends at 118f
ect starts at 185f, ends at 187f
boost is ~17
mph start is 35mph
with all that said, after seeing how my evo does with an air to air ic, i am seriously considering just going to the biggest a/a i can fit on the truck.
