Im in the market for getting a new intercooler, the old one I had was the stock side mount. Has anyone heard of the "company" on ebay that selling them called "Just-Intercoolers"?

Heres the setup Im thinking of for budget and good setup.Just-Intercoolers FMIC for s13with the HKS SSQV Blow off Valve welded on

or

GReddy LS-spec intercoolerPre-made Hotpipe with flange pre welded onand the HKS BOV

What setup do you have, what do you think?

The elcheapo intercooler's on ebay aren't bad for the price. I picked up a 26/12 core for $60 to use on my broke *** track car.

I'm currently running a Trust intercooler and blitz dd bov combo.

Thanks for the reply, being e-bay and all I was not too sure about it. Id like my car to be good for around 300+-hp so id like to get parts that can support that. Any fitment issues? looked good? How/where did you have your BOV mounted?

fitment was pretty good. i bought hump coupler to make the install easier and allow some flex with the pipes. i bought a bov pipe with a flange for my turbo xs bov and placed it on my hotside.

this was taken right after i got the motor running. alot of latex powder everywhere. lol

Looks almost like the cold side to throttle body is a little banged up? hot side too?
