Default Schmuck Built sandwich A2W intercooler!

How did I not hear about these guys before?! They are right in my backyard. I went to thank them for supporting our school baseball association. Go Eagles! Expecting to walk into a repair shop, I walked into an amazing fab shop. They specialize in S2000's. So we got to talking about cars and I mentioned my turbo LS project. Jason asked what intercooler I was using. I told him an A2A. And he says he builds 2 different sandwich style A2W intercoolers. Well he pulled them out and I was impressed. They are well designed with some help from a fluid dynamics guru to assure proper flow and performance and then fabbed in house. Just wish I had a use for one! Anybody using one? Data on the combo?


Larger one

Mounts to a Holley base

Smaller one

If I got one I'd ask for engraving on the side, built by a schmuck
That's what you call a good conversation starter.

They got a lot of stuff. It’s always good to have another fab shop handy. Where are they located.? I looked and looked but I couldn’t find anything.

They could be a scammer. I’d have no idea where my money went.

They have a Carlisle address, but are between Carlisle and Mechanicsburg, PA. I had the same problem trying to find them to thank them for the youth baseball support. They are by appointment only and do the manufacturing there, the way it looks. No storefront currently. They had to move the business due to loosing their building lease. Happening alot around here. Real estate prices are through the roof. The property owners end the leases or buy the leases out to sell the property for demolition. Crazy.
They do mostly online sales and the big races/shows. They were just at World Cup Finals Import vs. Domestic at MIR. Call Jason, he was really helpful and knowledgeable.
