I've been browsing for a Intercooler Core w/end tanks. I've found on some on egay that are affordable but wonder about the quality of certain ones like the SSautochrome or the XOXO racing one.

Are these any good or should I go for a name brand one?

I already have the piping from an RSPL greddy kit, the core and end tanks is all i'm missing. Any suggestions?

Their fine. Of course the quality wont be as "good" as name brands but it'll do it's job. Im sure the efficiency of the intercoolers are almost the same but it really depends. you'll have to do some Thermo calculations if you want to get down to the specific. Why spend 100$+ more for a name brand when the difference is only +- ~1% efficiency..
