Need help Identifying this Medium intercooler
Maybe M2 or ebay copy? It was on a 94 single turbo i just picked up, also has a greddy elbow with no greddy wording maybe a knock off too? The car had so many high dollars items that it seems odd to use knock off china parts for these two items.
Its an ASP or XS Power without the logo printed on top.
It doesn't have enough rows in the core to be a M2 Medium SMIC.
aka not as good
It's still a great SMIC and will run a few laps before heat soaking -- 1 more lap than Greddy/PFS/Blitz/Knightsport/etc -- but 1 less lap than a M2/Pettit SMIC
The (compression tube / intake elbow) brand doesn't matter, as long as the TB side sits flush.
It looks warped in your engine bay photo.

Thanks for the rotary knowledge guys!!
Nakd it does sit flush on the throttle body, its not bolted down tight in the pic as I was removing everything in the engine bay.

The elbow looks to be a copy of the Greddy elbow. They generally fit OK but just don't have the nice finish that the real deal does.
But, the IC looks to be great and the fact it has a nice duct is great - that's good value there for resale.
