I think the IC came off an Impulse, but I am not sure.  I bought it off 
someone who had planned to fit it in a different turbo project.  I 
intend to ask him exactly what it came from, but I have not seen him in 
several months.  I found one similar on eBay, but going for way too much 
money.

*Somewhere I do have the actual dimensions of the unit I used. It has 
slightly different inlets than the one above.  I don't know that the one 
above would work all that well as the bend into the TB would be pretty 
tight.

The following link has some pictures comparing it to the stock unit and 
showing how I fit it in.  It is half blocked by the aluminum part of the 
bumber.  With this car (and most street cars) this is not a problem.  
Just the thermal mass of the IC provides a great deal of the cooling for 
a burst of power.  Then over time air can cool it back down to be ready 
for the next time.  I still think it is better than the stock setup even 
if power needs were continuous.  Plus you don't have to worry about 
securring your end tanks at higher boost levels since it is all aluminum.

Ben if I do get specific info on the source of that IC I will pass it 
along.  I know others have fit Volvo 740 units also.  These are far 
larger height wise, but much thinner.  They however are likely much 
easier to find as Isuzu has not sold cars in the US for a while.
