aftermarket Inter cooler
I have not seen this one but here is some information I have picked up from various sources.
Although the parts people seem to indicate wonderful benefits from other than stock inter coolers some of the old hands out there have indicated that the stock IC works better until you get into the $2000+ range on aftermarket stuff. I was going to get a direct flow IC until I talked to a well known tuner who indicated that improvements were minimal at best and usually resulted in power lost. That was his personal opinion and after looking into this I think he might be right.
My tuner would have sold me another IC but when he told me it would be a waste of money that got my attention. Not many people turn down a sale.
Of course I spent the money on something else like suspension parts.
Hope you find what you are looking for.
