Anyone use any Truck intercoolers?

[sleepydsm]

I was at Automotive Cooling Products for an A/C seminar, and there they had a bunch of catalogs with companys that make replacement Charge Air Coolers (intercoolers to us car folk). Catalogs have dimensions, endtank dimensions, inlet/outlet size, and most are "black" in the OEM form. Anyone here use any diesel truck intercoolers on their cars? I just figure I could get a nice brand new core cheap enough, might be better/cheaper than a "kit"

Every diesel intercooler I've ever seen is bigger than the radiators in our cars. Fitment could possibly be an issue.

Well, these catalogs have dimensions and pictures!

Intercooler kits are so cheap nowadays, there shouldn't be a reason to put one together unless you need custom routed 3" stuff.

I don't think $1000 is cheap. I've been eyeing the Extreme PSi race kit.

Brand new intercooler kits are a rip. Just look for used race core kits for like 550 shipped.

I dont like dented cores! lol. But yeah if a good deal comes around, then I'd jump on it. But if I can get a decent new core for a few hundred or less, id go that way too!

Theres a few places that sell nice cores that are meant for short route DSMs and are pretty nice big cores. If you want to know, just ask.
