Re:different intercooler styles
plate and fin, has its advantages to have the most contact area, but some guys opt for the extruded tube design..
it really depends on the internal fin design, some intercoolers have garbage insides, like volvo. while PWR has great inside fin design.
that has very good surface area.. while others dont.

Re:different intercooler styles
looks like a spark core.
imo thats junk if your looking for a good intercooler dont buy that..
looks like those volvo intercoolers..
but i mean if you got a budget that will work fine for mild boost needs.. *(if ya got the cash buy a godo one )

Re:different intercooler styles
I didn't get one, i seen it on ebay and they're in canada which was another bonus. Only things is, I've read their feedback and people said their intercoolers aren't good quality like the pictures show.
I'm only running 8psi on a b18b.

Re:different intercooler styles
What design are the Tyrus intercoolers and are they better than the plate/fin design?
How about this one? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2444384889
It doesn't use plate/fin design, but I don't like how the bars between all the fins in the front are so large. What do you guys think?

Re:different intercooler styles
That IC is junk IMO. Gat a CCA intercooler. You get what you pay for. www.speedpartsrus.com
My second choice after a CCA intercooler would be this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2443432300
