Default Cheap Intercooler, Flow Descent? PICS!

I can grab this intercooler for $125 shipped, pretty much already told him I want it for sure because of the kick *** price. Just wanna know what you guys feel it will flow up to, he said 350, but I think he just grabbed a number

the CORE size is 16 X 6 X 3, inlets are 2.25"



I wanna run it on my fully built A6, t3 .60/.63 @ 15-17psi

Will it hold?

Thanks!

16 inches? The bars on that look a little thick. Tell him you want pics of the inside of it.

I have NEVER seen bar and plate core like that! Are you sure he isn't using some sort of industrial core. Like A/C condenser core from a refrigeration unit or something? Some of that stuff looks like intercooler core but its for compressed gas not air and wont work. Know you intercooler seller
If it is bar and plate core, it will not support 350HP. three inch core will flow 45/50HP per inch. So at six inches you are looking at 270 to 300HP max. Close but not 350HP.

i'm sure you can find something similar in size that'll work for $125.
