After searching for about 2 hours today I decided to start this thread.
I think it would be a useful guide for purchase of a new intercooler.
This is what I am looking for from as many of you as possible:

Brand of Intercooler:

Model and or Type:

Flow rate and or pressure drop:

Piping required if any:

Modification for fitment if any:

Weight:

Picture of Intercooler:

Dyno:

Price:

Please help out with this. I know most of this can be done just by looking at the stats from the producers, but I want to see real world examples. I think this would help out alot of us.

 

Brand of Intercooler:ETS (Extreme Turbo Systems)

Model and or Type: 3.5" thick standard end tanks (not wide tanks)

Flow rate and or pressure drop: 1127cfm-750hp at 80% efficiency

Piping required if any: ETS or stock

Modification for fitment if any: It says "Requires Minor Trimming on EVO 8", but mine fit ok without trimming, not using crash beam.

Weight: hmm, not sure.

Picture of Intercooler:




Dyno: Not available

What a coincidence, says my name at the top of that pic!

 

MONDAY bump.

 

Maybe you could add price too.

 

bump for rouughly 5% of views posting

 

keep in mind an intercooler is not a power adder, simply an anti knock component, generally only necessary for larger turbos or high(30+ psi) boost applications

i went with ETS, great price and fitment. i have the 3.5" and can keep my crash beam for when im not at the track.

 

I like the ETS . Ill prolly go that rout soon

 

it has been proven that a good intercooler yields gains horsepower and torque.
not only an anti knock component.
