Need help to choose Intercooler

I have a single turbo fd, running 450 rwhp @ 20 psi.

I am looking for a front mount Intercooler as cheap and good as possible.

I want a Greddy Intercooler, but I can't afford one.


So I searched eBay, and I found these 2 :

750$ shipped home to Norway.

630$ shipped home to Norway
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FRONT...1%7C240%3A1318


Any experiences on these ? they look pretty much like the same intercooler thoug..

Thanks, Justin

you are going to get mixed opinions on here, "its a 3rd gen, dont cheap out on ebay parts". IMO, its not that big of a deal buying ebay intercooler. I know ALOT of people with HIGH horsepower cars with ebay FMIC. My friend has an STI with 550rwhp 35r with ebay FMIC.

I have the XS power SMIC with an aluminum constructed duct. Works GREAT. As long as the welds are good enough to hold boost theres not much that can go wrong with the non-moving part. However, I would NOT recommened ebay turbos or anything intricate.

The only problem I could see you running into realistically would be fitment. It might not fit like a genuine greddy.
