Looks good to me, snag one.

Gah, that crap pisses me off...makes it really hard to sell my IC for 300 bucks when you can buy it now one of those blingin ones

[andrave]

there have always been cores like that on ebay if you wait long enough.

[Chingon]

I know andrave, the thing is that they are always on there now. You don't have to wait. There are hundreds each weak from the same sellers "supercooler" and someone else...

[andrave]

guess people finally figured out that isn't any magic behind the pretty silver fins...just rows of air passages, endtanks, and a shiny etched brand name. the tuner thing is going mainstream, people are taking advantage of it...

About how many HP do you guys think those IC's will flow, I need like 600hp, think it will hang ? I was going to buy one of those HYBRID till they jacked up the price

I'm not a big fan of ANY of those core designs, but whatever...my new intercooler is a PWR, which is a totally extruded tube core, even the fins are extruded WITH the tubes. It's more efficient at transferring heat but might not be able to pull heat out QUITE as well as the garrett/spearco style cores. However, it'll flow quite easily compared to them, giving me less of a pressure drop (important to me). Also, I've heard word that they actually do cool ridiculously well, and I know full-race and cheapturbo.com both sell them (got mine from cheapturbo, should be here this week ) The street imports one looks like it'd flow quite well, but wouldn't be as efficient at drawing out heat. Thats almost a big diesel truck style core. The first couple of pictures have a garrett style core which I think would cool really well at the expense of some pressure drop. If I had to pick one of those, it'd probably be the Spearco.
