doesn't the ebay intercoolers heat up faster than a real make intercooler because ebay brands use cheaper metal material!

you guys are funny! i worked for a vendor on here(which will remain nameless because i dont want another "warning")... but as far as ebay goes.... i would order parts from there... you guys think all the vendors on here make their own parts? where do you think the parts come from?

the shop i worked at... the owner would buy all of his downpipes/headers/cutouts from CHINA... and when they arrived here.. he either uses paint to "cover-up" the chinese writing or just swaps the parts out into his own boxes w/ his company logo...

hell, i just went on ebay real quick and what do you know!! he has vendors on there selling his parts too... LOLz

haha i like ur style.

ok so lets say that this said intercooler DOES infact heatsoak pretty badly or whatever, is it possible that afixing something like DEI wrap to the back portion of the endtanks (facing the motor) could possibly fix this problem?
or at least help

To each there own. However, I can guarantee you that core vs. an actual AMS core is night and day. There is no possible way that core is as efficient as an AMS core, it's already been proven .

I will test this, my ams fmic is on the way and if anyone wants to send me a ebay on to test for arguments sake I will do it. Although its already been done a few times.

What are you talking about AMS isnt even over 8 bills

If that is too exspensive for mods how do you afford an Evo?

When people wonder why two cars set up the same and one has 100hp more, thats why. All parts are not created equal.
