Pretty much any Ebay one that is 31x12x4 or 31x12x3 both work pretty well if you have a good source of air flow to cool the air charge. No problems, no leaks. I have used CXRacing in the past.

My ebay intercooler is 31x12x3 with 3" inlet and outlet, from CXRacing. Was damaged when I opened box, but they sent me another one no problem.

Is there a big difference from the one you buy on ebay for $200 and the one from Precision the same size taht they want $900 for? They look the same.

I got mine off ebay. The CORE SIZE is 24x12x4 with 3" inlets & outlet. I think the overall size is the same as everyone elses here mentioned 31x12x4 or whatever. I searched ebay by the core size tho to find the one I got. Works great so far and does a very good job of keeping the IATs in check from the F1.

Ditto on everything said. The more expensive intercoolers are probally thicker walled and probally have thicker cores ...but for something likmine thats driven on the street mainly..you cant beat the cxracing prices.And i have had no problems on mine and have had mine for almost a year.

what do you guys think about the style that has an inlet on each side on the bottom. and the outlet is in the center on the top going right towards the TB.

Great if you have twins. May loose a little boost if your single though

I bought my universal piping kit from CXRacing, and the pipe was quality stuff. I highly recommend them.

I bought my intercooler off ebay, but I don't remember from whom. It is a Mishimoto "M Line". MSRP is $340, but I got it for about $200. Quality looks solid, and no signs of leaks yet (only 50 miles on it so far). Here are the specs and some pics:

Overall Size: 27.5" x 11.75" x 3"
Core Size: 23.5" x 11.75" x 3"

I have bought 3 from CXracing, all the 4" thick ones previously mentioned. At 10psi my intake temps on a 90* day would go DOWN from 96* to around 88* during 3rd gear boost pulls on my datalogs......never had a problem with them. Money well spent

ok so if i buy a bigger intercooler like this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OBX-I...Q5fAccessories
where do i get the piping to run the intercooler to the procharger since the twin intercooler piping wont work??

I would buy the piping from CXRacing on ebay. Their pipes are good quality and weld just fine. You can buy one of their kits for pretty cheap and then pay extra to have them add some additional pipes. I chose to add a couple 90* bends, and I'm glad I did.

they dont sell steel though do they? And what size 90 are you guys using? I am looking at a 3.5 to 3" elbow...will this work for the throttle body?
