LICP only - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/EVO-V...85274741QQrdZ1
i paid $180 shipped for the IC, LICP and UICP a while back.
I had an XS Power intercooler on my 507 horse SRT-4. My old SRT-4 was the fastest stock motor/bottom end car in the nation. Does that say something? Also stock intercooler intake temps were datalogged at 92-95* in boost on a 70 degree day. The intercooler was installed and on a similair day the intake temps were datalogged at 72-75* at WOT.
Ummm I think they work fine and I will purchase one for my Evo soon enough.

This is the type of proof that this thread needs.
Peace of mind? What piece of mind?
Who is to say that you wouldn't have less chance of problem with XS over "brand X". Why is this XS Power FMIC such a mystery?
If this has never happended, then why are we even talking about sucking in cooling fins.
The subject is ridiculous.
Its just like ARP studs. I sell them, I use them. Has anyone ever stretched the stock bolts? No.
People are strange.

both turboxs AND garrett, EVEN spearco cores (and i don't know WHY ****in' idiots say those intercoolers are good...) have MUCH WORSE BRAZING THAN THIS CHINESE TAIWANESE FOREIGN MADE CORES. SUCK IT.
just look at the pics. then look inside a turboxs core and you'll see an accordian with ROUNDED contacts and INCONSISTENT brazing seals to the fins. same with spearco, same with garrett. in fact garrett's brazing is so made in mexico bad, that buschur's own cores have been delivered leaking at the plates.
so please spare me the stupidity. it's obvious just from pictures that those fins are more precision made. they look like arc intercooler fins. each one square as a T and flatly brazed.

And I rest my case....these intercoolers are fine to use. I used one of these cores on my SRT with great results! Oh and the SRT made 507whp so suck it all!

How is a fin going to get sucked in to the intake tract and the motor? Please explain to me how a fin, which is located on the outside of the plate section, going to magically get inside of the plate?
Have you ever looked inside an intercooler? There are fins on the outside and also on the inside of the plates.

I would love to know, seriously.
Edit: studying the pics more. AMS core does have a denser fin structure. 38 fins in a row. The XSP has 30 fins per row. And the rows ofthe XSP are wider. There are blocks on the ends of AMS core making the row not as long. This means the AMS fin count per inch is a good bit higher. This will never be solved until someone test both cores back to back on high HP car.
