buying an Intercooler

[Anduinlight]

Alrighty,
I'm not sure if this is the right place for this thread but I figured since an intercooler is inline with turbos this would be the best place.
anyways
I've been kinda shopping around for intercoolers, asking some people about thier preference and such (mainly Matt). Matt pointed me in the direction of Dejon Tools, big front mount. I've heard some bad things about the end tanks of thier intercoolers but other then that not much else. My main question is does anybody here have any suggestions about intercoolers as far as who from, what kind, or anyother helpful ideas about them.
and lastly would it be a good idea to have it professionally installed, or how difficult it is to install yourself.
some info about my car:
92 talon AWD, big 16g, safc2, 550 injectors (may be upgrading in the near future) gm maf (i would like to set it up for blow through upper IC piping) and thats about it as far as upgrades go.
any suggestions would be very much apriciated :)

Depending on your price range, there are plenty of better options than Dejon. In fact, I would recommend against their ICs...
As far as professionally installed, it's really not that hard. Cut some bumper if necessary, bolt it on, and attach the pipes. However, if you wanted something custom-fabbed that would require professional installation and be really pretty, may I recommend QPR. You could get away with a smaller core to save some $$, assuming you intend to keep that setup.

well i'm thinking of changing the setup over time so I'd like somthing I could build on
I really don't want one of those tiny, almost side mount intercoooler. As far as price range goes dejons is $850 with all the piping, which I could handle, so anywhere around that

Buschur's economy 1G FMIC kit is $900. Nice core, decent end-tanks, black powdercoated pipes. I had basically the same kit but with polished SS pipes and all that was needed to run blow-through was a quick cut of a few inches off the top of the UICP.

One more thing, Dejon makes really nice intake pipes for the money, but I wouldn't run their IC pipes due to the VERY thin flanges, I've seen some that just won't stop leaking.

Just get a SLS kit. They're pretty much the same as buschur's but with a better price.

I recomend QPR too they make awsome intercoolers and are usually willing to work around your price range.

[Anduinlight]

so i have one for bushers, one for SLS and on for QPR..... and it seems like no one likes dejon. I did talk to QPR a bit back, they said they could do it, installed for a prety decent price, and I know matt was happy with his install :)
any other suggestions???

I bought a core on ebay (30X7X3.25) for mighty cheap and had QPR do the piping... Works well, great price but in the end I think I would get a short route SLS or Buschur style FMIC. Custom IC's take a lot of time even though you might save a bit.

OnGreenPerformance has the cheapest FMIC setup I've seen, and GalantVR4.org members recommend them. $725 for a full setup. You can purchase a 3" GM MAFT piping for an add'l $60. www.ongreenperformance.com
