jus so all you can suck my *****, im using an intercooler jus like that on my 240, but mine is bigger. its the XXL 32x12x3 with 3" end tanks, it flows like a charm. no xtra lag, maybe a 2psi drop if that. crank up the boost to make up for the difference.

Plus the shipping on that intercooler is $50, so you are spending $100. MArketing techniques.

Well yea thats all im saying, Im not trying to bag on anyone using this intercooler or anything, i asked about this intercooler 3 weeks ago, its just after you pay shipping and everything, you chould have bought a JRC intercooler for about 40 bucks more (if his website was ------- up). I bought a 8inch JRC slightly used intercooler of ebay for 62 bucks shipped. But to each his own and i hope the shizzle works out for ya.
Peace

I tuned a B16 with chinese .50 trim T3/T04E clone Thursday night. It ran pretty okay, I'd guess 250-ish whp at 8 psi.

Jeff says yes, as of last week.

This turbo has been abused; bad oil drain on this engine AND on the engine it was hooked to before it, but it's fine.

However, I know of four bad ones in the WNC area alone, with at least twice as many in good shape. If you check the SSAutocoach thread where Random Hero says he has had good luck with one of the makes of .50 trim T3/T04E pictured? Yeah, they are all those.

Two of four T70 I've personally touched are still running like champs... although one of those only has 250 miles on it Which I guess is okay, because it's a warranty for the one that the compressor nut backed off of after 50 miles.
