Offset inlet and outlet sizes...I would go with what you know works. CCA or JRC

most people run a smaller diameter for the turbo to the IC than the TB to IC.
I think its a good buy. Only down side is you can't flip the IC around if one side look better than the other

Re: Your thoughts on this intercooler, NO its NOT a ssautocrap

people who have actually tested the pressure drop and charge temp drops of those ebay coolers get very shitty results. very little cooling and more than average pressure drop. they use very cheap cores. i was thinking about getting one, as you can always find a nice one for under 200 shipped on ebay, also don't you think it's kind of fishy, almost every singe company selling ic's on ebay has the same figures from testin? ".2-.5 psi pressure drop at 15 psi" "temperature drop from 120°F to 28°F", blah, blah, blah. www.johnnyracecar.com has his 8" intercoolers on sale right now for 199 shipped, and they are proven by tons of people already, i wouldn't chance it.........
