I'm sorry, but there won't be a distinguished answer up to what core size, tank size, areas and airflow-exposure i'ts gonna still work efficiently... There is no threashold, but a formula taking the above paramters + charge-air flow parameters into account. It's allways a tradeoff between pressure-drop (that you have to compensate with boost), lag (beacuse of the larger volume), gain in power and security through colder charge air and shifted knock-limits...
With bikes having typicaly less and shorter WOT-times than Cars for example you can get along without IC for quite some time without any issus and gaines in drivability (lag, weight, packaging), with the proped suited turbo.. Especially with EFI you have all the smart gadgets to control that setup.
Thats my personal Opinion and of course it depends on your boost-Level, Fuel (100Okt, E85, racefuel etc), CR, ambient temperature, bike-purpose and so on.. Most IC-Setups on bikes I've seen are pretty rubbish anyway from a technical standpoint... just my two pence..

I agree with Teresa O here.
One thing though.... what does the OP mean with FI? Fuel Injection, or Forced Induction?

Yeah sorry about that... forced induction is what I meant!.
Its gonna be a road going bike, on normal unleaded petrol.
So really I would be better off not using an intercooler yet. The bike isn't even finished at the moment, infact its not even really started yet! Collecting parts is the stage of where its at! LOL. Think I will be better off building it first, then think about an incooler at a later date.
And cheers for the informative posts. Good reading!

If you can incorporate an IC in your design - then do so -
Plenty of neat deep core ICs available -
I am incorporating one large or two smaller on my SAXON which has EFE power , on hold at moment - for powder coating
.............waiting to get my coat

I used one on my 'M' but it was intended to run 30+ psi boost which does induce a considerable amount of heat - my core loses approx 2 psi across it ( so the spec's say ) but will knock 100 ish degrees off the temps so for ME its worth it!
