Yea Mike told me a 2-3 week backorder is on the 3"-3.5".

I will be installing my AGP Intercooler today or tomorrow. $475 shipped is a great deal. When I spoke to them they told me they used Garret cores, so I'm uncertain about the Spearco comment. You need to mod your bumper and undertray (if you choose to keep it) to fit this. I have a preference for smooth cast endtanks over sheet-metal, but in spite of that I contacted both ETS and AGP and decided to buy whichever one could ship out the soonest. Couldn't imagine being unhappy with either decision.

Why would the AGP need cutting? Are the endtanks not angled? That is a huge selling point. ETS is a perfect fit.

They designed their own unique core. No need to say which intercooler I would suggest.

Here is a write up on there intercoolers and why they build them the way they do.

They can make about anything you want if you are wanting a particular brand

might as well add to the chain, ETS!!! Go with the 3.5" though if you plan on going bigger turbo later down the road. And for only $99 more, get it anodized!

We are currently 2-3 weeks out on any new order which is a position I regret having to tell you guys, but everyone keeps assuring me that it's a good problem to have

Where best value is concerned both quality and price have to be taken into account because neither comprises value alone. For endtank design, core efficiency and flow, fitment and performance of the intercooler overall we feel that our intercooler does offer the best bang for the buck. Additionally, I strive daily for the best customer experience in the industry and really appreciate everyone's support where that's concerned!

If you have any questions about our intercooler or its design just let me know

Tom

I would say, if you plan on upgrading in the future, get an IC that's a little bigger than you think you need. It will save you from having to upgrade in the future.

I have a big Nisei on my car...and when I upgrade the turbo, the IC can stay.
