i found a JRC intercooler on ebay and it looks fairly good. i am only going to be boosting 10psi max so i think this will be efficient enouf. any opinions on this fmic?

Think you got my point. It's waaaaaaay too small. Just going with a SMIC or something.

Also, when you say 10 psi, that's almost worthless. We need to know what turbo you're running.

I have the other JRC IC, it's only 1" taller. It fits perfectly in a pig nose, the brackets mount themselves on a s13, you only have to drill 2 holes and trim the bumper.

On that note, the IC is poorly designed in my opinion. Spend the extra $100 and get something bigger if you plan on running much boost at all. I'll sell you mine for $150 in 2 months of you still want one. I'm just ouf the country until then.

did you already pay? just politely ask the guy if he would have a problem not completing the sale. Dunno how loose your morals are, but if he won't initially agree say something like your mom was hospitilized and every dollar may be needed very soon. Or something to guilt him into letting you off the hook.
