so i need to buy an intercooler for my new car..and i wanna do a front mount..would it be a bad idea if i go w/one off of ebay? or is it basically the same thing..i mean..all i would have to do is get the piping done..jw if the intercooler itself would work as any other one or just as good

will ones like that be a completely bad idea? it must be somewhat better than a stock one?

"Air pushed threw the intercooler at 25 inches of pressure.
Stock Intercooler: 172 CFM
ST 185 RC air to water Intercooler: 230 CFM
Greddy 253 CFM
Spearco 320 CFM"

tested by chrisk on mr2oc

here is a good example of the POOR work done by ebay companies

and a bar and plate is defenitly better then tube and fin i believe

SSautochrome do very good downpipes, they are decent quality and popular in the UK.
