Haven't personally used one but the few that I've seen used worked well. Iat's weren't as low as Garrett cores but were decent.

I have 2 of their smaller ones welded together to make one. I am still testing so I don't have an opinion yet.

I have seen people make 750hp with one, I figure 2 should be good for 1000. My air temps are a little higher then i would like. I'm going to change the pump and go back to the dyno in a few weeks.

I have used them on a couple projects and have one for my current project. They seem to work well and for the price they are hard to beat!

We have used the 2000hp air to water and it held 1700hp no problem. We have another one here on the shelf. Some of the stuff they sell is cheap but we haven't had any problems with the big coolers.

Vega Jim...

Problem with the frozen boost cores is the size of the line they do the bungs for. Its not big enough. You arent getting enough water flow through the core. Especially if you are using a Rule pump.

Change the line out to 1inch to 1.5 inch depending on what pump you have and theyll work better...

You also picked out thier single pass cores.... the double pass core setups work a little better.

I definitely don't have enough pump. The air temps come down pretty quickly after a pull. They don't have a double pass core in the size intercooler that will fit my car. I'm going back to the dyno in a few weeks with a new pump and see if it helps.
