You could just order the same exact one,slap it on go for blast. If its fixed great, if not send it back. Order it from Amazon and dont get it dirty. Shouldn't have an issue returning. If you cant return it you can sell it for a little less.
You have a good point. I may end up going that route. DO you guys have any intercooler company suggestions for me to look into that dont cost a fortune. I am ok with spending a little more if its for a quality product. within reason ofcourse. My big thing is fitment. Needs to be a 3" core and i believe this one is a 27" or 25"... i cant remember and will have to measure when i pull it
Fronm what i am reading most guys go cxracing, treadstone, or mishimoto. Any thoughts on the mishimoto g line intercooler? It seems to be the middle ground between the treadstone and the cxracing
^^ i will look into that. My only worry is that it may be to long. I know most camaro guys use a 31" intercooler. I can only fit a 27" or a 25". I am curious if i can get some more specs on that as far as size goes.
When i pull it today, i will try to flush it out and see what i find. If nothing Major comes out (shop rag, aluminum piece, dead opossum, etc.) i will cut it open just to see what it looks like on the inside.
I will most likely go with a treadstone. See how thick of a core i can fit in the car.
I believe i am going to go the Treadstone route as well. They do not have a drop in replacement that will fit into my loacation. I have to have them make one. Basically i am gonig to use their end tanks with the air splitters and this core:
It will keep it small and be able to fit it into the space i have which is tight. It should make for a hell of a step up from the one i was running even if it was working properly.
I did bypass the intercooler. I have my findings listed above. Basically, i went from 4:1 back pressure to 2:1 back pressure on 5-8 psi. (different pulls without intercooler)
