Ets intercooler vs garrret intercooler
I have a picture of the ETS vs Ebay
ETS
Ebay Special
The eBay special above is the standard core you receive from eBay, we pull these off of customer cars all the time. The eBay special has straight through internal fins like a channel where the ETS if offset and staggered and forced the air to split and hit multiple fins.
Here is a graph on a 6765 car.. ETS vs Ebay core.. You can see the difference by just switching the intercooler. This is the only thing changed.
Thanks!

I'm loving my ETS 3.5" so far

I don't want to test that intercooler on one of my cars, afraid it might come apart. Did you see the missing pieces of internal fin pack on the intercooler above?
We had an intercooler from a big name manufacturer on this forum come apart and ruin the motor on one of our shop cars. I won't say names, but there is a reason I don't recommend certain cores.
The core that ruined our motor on the inlet and outlet looked like a tube was welded directly to the end tank with no porting, so you could feel the pipe on the inside of the inlet and outlet, not only is this bad for turbulence it also had slag on it
Lesson learned, when I buy a car and it has someone else's intercooler / craftsmanship on it... i'm pulling it off and running our parts before I dyno it or push it.
Thanks!

the density of the garret cores is what makes them cool properly efficiently!
Our TA car never gained more than 1-5 degrees over ambient temps with the garrett core.... regardless of construction... fin count etc... it simply WORKS....
bottom line.
There are nice intercoolers out there, but we have found the Garrett Core to simply work the best

What was the TA car on 2psi?? I would say check your sensor..Mike
yes that is correct...
the car would start off with a higher AIT than ambient because of the inherent heatsoak of the piping in the engine bay, and by the end of a 3rd gear pull it would be within a few degrees of ambient...
Erkel confirmed this (as did charlie) on the 700whp car with our FMIC also
this is the exact core that David uses...
cheers

I've seen David claim the same couple degrees above ambient on the dyno.
FWIW though, on a GT42R car making 800 WHP, we only saw like a 10-15 degree increase from start to finish on a 4th gear pull using an Ebay intercooler at 30 psi. Dynos don't even come close to showing the whole picture as on the drag strip, that car would pick up like 60-70F above ambient at the 600HP level (23-25 psi). Can't imagine what it would have looked like had we turned the boost up to the 800 HP level.

We haven't had a single problem on Jeff Busch's car running 8.60's last year or any of our other cars. We set a record 9-sec pass with our X using our core as well. This argument is funny.. if we are talking about 1-2 degree difference in hypothetical situations.
