Im sure you wont need a $1000 intercooler, youll get by fine with a $500 one.

Can you please have a few years of research and experiance about the products at hand before you make false statements?

If someone really wants to read a good link on intercoolers I've always liked the explanation here: http://www.gnttype.org/techarea/turbo/intercooler.html

What statments have I said that are false? I never made a statment, and I never told him anything false. I just said an air to air heat exchanger doesnt take long to understand.

The hell it does. Are you an expert on thermodynamics and heat transfer?

Im a diesel mechanic, and I own a semi truck. Im pretty sure I know a thing or two about air to air heat exchangers bud.

But imo id just stick with what you can afford, if you cant afford $600-$1000 FMIC. I would say wait and save, because really you wont find a good one for less than $600, and even thats kinda pushin it. I paid like 750 for my setup, but you can get a QUALITY IC for less than $1000.

Plus you guys do know that they have dealers on ebay, like turbonetics and greddy and other big names.

Wonderful. I am an engineer, but I am certainly not going to market myself as an expert on heat exchangers because of my background. Thermodynamics and heat transfer is not a simple subject, no matter what you say. The best intercooler advice on this forum is going to be sourced from those who deal with them on a continual, daily basis: DB, LSE, MAP, etc.

never said I was expert, dont put words in my mouth, just saying I know how it works and have knowledge on the subject. Is that all you guys do is put ppl down or what? Thought we were trying to help a guy figure out his situation, not bicker on who has the most knowledge or whats right and whats wrong. Is it not suppose to be supportive advice from ppl with all diff. backrounds? Just because someone deals with somthing on a continued basis,doesnt necessarly make them an expert either, just means they have knowledge in the area and not completely ignorant. And that wasnt a cool thing to do, jumping on that guys case because he asked a question. Think if you where him....

If you dont have a welder buy a quality kit and be done with it. It will fit right and will come with everything you need to make it work. Be careful with the eBay stuff, it is hit or miss. Some cores are junk and some piping kits dont come with beads on the ends for the couplers. Some come with worm screw clamps vs t-bolt clamps, some are just shitty chrome plated steel piping that will look like shit when it starts to peal.

If I were you I would buy a good used kit from someone parting out their car or switching setups. Save some money and get a quality product.
