Question Help identifiying top mount intercoolers.

Hey guys, just doing some garage cleaning and I found 4 top mount intercoolers that all seem to be different from each other ever so slightly. So was wondering if you guys could help me identify them

Keep in mind I got a lot of my stuff from a friend who was stationed in Japan back in the late 90s. So these could all very well be Japanese TMIs.

Any help would be great! More pics upon request.

Thanks




If you are wondering what the sticker says on the bottom left black intercooler: Aerodyne Industries. Google shows them to be a parts shop in Gardena, CA

They really all look stock. The one with the sticker... probably just has a sticker on it, and is missing the rubber mounting pieces. All except the bottom right are missing the top shroud thing, but they all look stock to me. Not sure why some have extra small pipes on them though...

The S5 TMIC in the upper right seems to be a JSpec as the nipples for the AWS and ASV are missing.

Can someone post an underside picture of an S5 ASpec TMIC?

Thanks
