You can do a lot better than an ebay intercooler.

Granted you can make enough power to render the ebay ones useless.

Hey, if you want to block your entire rad with an ebay core, go for it. You can get a higher quality core and use a third of the space, and get the same or better cooling.

All about priorities.

Coolant temps?

You mean post intercooler air temps?

Are they within 10* of ambient? If not, you could do better. Are the consistent throughout the quarter mile run? Or do they rise significantly?

Weaker designs tend to float higher than ambient at cruise, and increase greatly the longer the run. The better designs will hold ambient temps out of boost, and hardly increase during a run. Unless of course you're past the limits of the thing, or using a compressor outside of its efficiency range. Or just using a mediocre compressor to start with.






All the things no one cares about in a W body. If it runs without KR, its good right?

air to air intercoolers are all about flow vs cooling... Just because one intercooler flows more and cools less does not make it "bad".

Anyway, this turbo kit looks like an utter pile of junk. Stupid header style manifolds are stupid, no flex joints anywhere, and the tiny tiny crappy fitting bent up downpipe looks like a complete mess. Stock manifolds and a hacked together downpipe with a CT style wg perch would work better than that mess, and you could do it for $100.
