Nigel Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I ordered mine from ETDMOTORS on ebay for $140 two years ago. I was really impressed with the quality. The mounting points were even helicoiled. Also, Slow_Old_Car mentioned that the Chinese IC's don't have internal fins (turbulators?), and are just open tubes, but mine has the internal fins. However, I have seen one of these without internal fins, so it looks like it can vary from vendor to vendor. I know I didn't go with the absolute cheapest one I could find, so maybe that's why. Matt Cramer said that these are heavy, but I don't see how you could make it lighter, or why you'd want to anyway, as the mass helps absorb heat.

Matt Cramer Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 For those that used this intercooler, did you buy the piping from the same seller? If so, did it do the job or did you have to buy additional piping? I did. Haven't quite got it complete but the piping was what I'd best describe as "just OK." It was mandrel bent but the bends were often 5 degrees or more off what they should be. It had T-bolt clamps and real silicone couplers, but they are pretty soft silicone. Right now I haven't got the thing together so I am not sure how they will hold up to boost. I had a universal pipe set, not a model specific one.
