I'm putting a turbo in my truck and I was wondering what budget intercooler would be best

No idea, been beating mine without an intercooler for many years, but I have forged pistons so it doesn't matter as much... I want an intercooler and have a couple thoughts but haven't gotten very far, it's only been like 13 years since I turbo swapped, don't rush me :)

My credo
Buy it, build it, and drive it like you stole it
What did the turbo come off of? I would start there. With the popularity of turbos I'm sure there are some aftermarket options. If not you could alway raid a scrap yard. Of course all the plumbing to and from the intercooler would have to be custom fabricated.
