better then expected for 65 u.s plus shipping

came to 118.99 CAD shipped. tube and fin, welds look alright, some fins were bent but big deal. packaged nicely, etc.
now just have to see how well it works. and yes i know there have been multiple threads on these but i wanted to see for myself. and so far i can't see anything wrong cosmetically, and if it does indeed suck, its only 65 bucks right? lol

good for you :-X

Re: ebay intercooler arrived
 

Looks good. I didn't know they made a tube/fin style. Everything I've found is bar/plate, which I'm not a big fan of. Good find

Re: ebay intercooler arrived
 

I've been using an ebay intercooler for quite a while now and its been great. Once in a while i'll feel the charge pipe after driving for a while and its nice and cold so its doing its job. ;D

Re: ebay intercooler arrived
 

for what i need it for it should be fine. around 7psi, 270ish whp

Re: ebay intercooler arrived
 

Its hard to ---- up an intercooler (not saying you cant) BUT, I got mine off ebay too and the temp differential between the hot side and cold side is amazing. i haver not conducted any pressure loss experiments, but it seems to work great!!! BAR and Plate though.. Rock it ;youll be fine, end tanks look alright too!!!

Re: ebay intercooler arrived
 

look nice... ;D

Re: ebay intercooler arrived
 

I also have one. I drive long distances daily, and it seems to cool the charge pipes well. I am only pushing a small amount of boost tho.

Re: ebay intercooler arrived
 

plus shipping thats money too.

Re: ebay intercooler arrived
 

ya but basically 120 CAD shipped is really cheap for a new front mount.
looks good, should perform.
i have just read mixed reviews on them and figured it was time to try it.

Re: ebay intercooler arrived
 

where are u from??

streetimports from canada has a bar and plate design now... kinda the same size as yours... i gotta wait since there making new ones... from the original tube/fin design..

nice though... good budget build

Re: ebay intercooler arrived

this is where i got my intercooler from(i have the 8"tall 3.5" thick), the quaility is up to par with that of spearco,precision,etc. the price is good. bar and plate is the best design with the best cooling capabilities if you can stomach the added weight, mine weighs like ------ 10+lbs
