Default big a2w intercoolers what brand?

I still havent bought a turbo but it will be atleast over 90mm. So now I need to decide which intercooler to buy. I cant find much with search. I would like to get something rated up to 2000fwhp. I was looking at the percision pt-2000 but have also heard of Bell and sperico. I am not sure what to buy or where to get it. i am trying to not spend a ton of money but came to my senses and relized a couple ebay intercoolers welded together would not work. I am going to put it where the battery use to be. Any pics would be great also. thanks

I have a Bell and a Spearco, and the Bell is the same build quality and looks to be the same core material, but was 1/3 cheaper. Talk to Gerhart at Bell, I think that's his name.

You could use a couple large A2A cores with your own custom housing pretty easily. I recommend Corky Bell's (of Bell Intercooler) book 'Supercharged!" or his turbo one 'Maximum Boost' as it explains a lot about intercoolers and how to convert an A2A to an A2W.

might talk to Fireball. I've been meaning to ask him which I/C his is. I'm planning to do mine pretty much the same way.

I have a reichard racing minicube. I don't think you can fit anything bigger than that in that area...its pretty close to the front tire when fully turned to the left...

+1 for Gerhardt at Bell. I had mine custom-built there and was extremely happy with the quality, speed, and price. You basically sketch out what you want and they build it for you. Be prepared for Gerhardt to critique your sketch, though. "Whea do you want the mounting taabs?" (in your best Arnold Schwartzeneger voice)
