I believe this is a spearco core and priced very well. It should fit very well considering its size is just like the forge intercooler.

Unless I were building an actual race car (which I personally wouldn't), I wouldn't spend that much on an intercooler by itself. If it came with a full pipe kit (like Hot Shot, which IIRC comes with an HK$ FMIC), that'd be a different story...

For a intercooler with endtank's that's a good price. It's a Spearco sized core.:)

Just remember guys, you get what you pay for. Just because it is cheap, doesn't necessarily mean its good too. I am not saying this intercooler is bad by any means, but I would look into flow numbers, and the contruction of the core. Intercooler that sucks at cooling kind of defeats its purpose. But for all I know these could be the best on the planet, but buyer beware!

even on a street car, i would not skimp on something like an intercooler, as you can do it right, the first time and not need to upgrade in the future. unless you get a ginormous intercooler, there is no such thing as too much intercooler.

if it is a spearco core, $446 is a really good price, and when compared to the average turbo budget, is a drop in the barrel, especially considering you only save like $200 going with a cheap ass Starion intercooler that doesnt flow as well, doesnt fit very well and will not have the same efficiency.

If you look at the site it looks like that company did a buy in with turbonetics and gets it at a good price thats why they are able to sell it at a low price. To me $446 is real cheap already considering kits with piping, run from $700 and up.

does sound like a good price but thats just it for 700hundred they are coming with the piping, its probably gonna cost you more money than 300 bucks for the piping but if the intercooler is much better than another one than its worth it.
