Default good budget twin turbo intercooler

Heres my build. Forged ls1, twin 67mm turbos. Who makes a twin turbo intercooler that wont break the bank? Ive seen the treadstones which look great but i can snag an ebay knock off of the treadstone for half the price. Are they as good as the treadstones? Also they are 2.5 " inlets, and 3" outlet. Are the 2.5" inlets sufficiant for 2 67mm turbos???

2.5" is fine for a 67mm turbo.

I'm almost done with my twin turbo kit. I'm using twin ebay GT45s. I bought the Treadstone intercooler which came with the 2.5" inlets and 3" outlet. I also bought a 3.5" sleeve. I'll be cutting the 3.0" outlet out and will weld on the 3.5". That 3" outlet is OD, which means that the air only has more like 2.9" or smaller. Then again my goal is over 1k rwhp.

My goal as well is 1000rwhp. I was thinking of buying 2 3"outlet necks an a 3.5"inlets ne k and having them welded on. Where did you get the 3.5"inlets sleeve?

I would stick to the 2.5 inlets and if anything replace the 3" outlet with a 3.5". I got mines from Treadstone as well for like $25. Too big of a inlet will cause lag from what I've been told

I can and cant see lag coming from that. But thank you for the info Danny!
