Intercooler?

I'm looking for a new inter-cooler but am intimidated by the prices and varieties of what I've seen online. Does anyone have any recommendations from what you've used?

Depends on what you are trying to accomplish. Like for like or performance replacement.

If you're not after better cooling than stock then any cheap Chinese copy intercooler will do the job, but if you're after better cooling performance then a branded one will be better ie.e Forge, AirTec, Wagner etc...

I have one of the cheap ones from amazon but i wouldn’t recommend it. I’ll be buying a name brand one soon. Mine is super heavy and the inlet snd outlet are weak.

G Plus from eBay, worth the money. If you hunt through the for sale section there is one for sale 100 bucks for Plus shipping out in Cali. I wish he would have sold me his intake.


I got it for 145 shipped.
