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.

Yeah it's the M2 or ASP medium. I'm under the impression those were basically the same thing from a core perspective. I'm told both were great units.

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.

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.
