Ok I was just curious... Ebay intercoolers vs HKS/GREDDY... etc..

I know already for sure which one is better. Duh? Just wondering what are the differences except the amount of boost it can handle. I'm not planning on doing anything crazy but planning to exceed 14psi and the ARC sidemount wont supply my needs. I'm sort of a budget and was planning on getting one of those cheapo FMiC's from ebay. Bad idea? Good idea? And opinions and input would be taken into consideratioN! thanks

a local shop gets these intercoolers for there custom turbo kits (cant remember which seller), and they flow decently from what im told but not as well as the before mentioned companies of course...one IC was able to handle 400whp on a sr swap so thats the same company i bought mine from...give me your email addy and ill dig through my reciepts and tell u which seller it is...im on a budget too so i went this route....good luck

I don't know who he referred you to, but my friend got a NICE bar and plate IC from boostcoolers on ebay.

EDIT: I am pretty sure this is the exact one he got... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...=WDVW

EDIT 2: Or, if you are on a budget, there is always http://www.johnnyracecar.com/VIII041115.htm
