which ebay intercooler?

No flames please and I understand the AMS and BR are the best, but which one of these would you guys use if you were going to get an ebay intercooler. No flames also because this isnt for me, its for a friend. who has the same set up as me: 05 evo with gsc1 cams, exhaust, 21psi, injen intercooler piping, mbc, head studs and fuel pump and is only looking for a slightly better looking and slightly more efficient intercooler.

I gotta say that almost seems to good to be true. That price is unreal with the piping. If anyone can post realistic dyno gains id consider it.

You guys will never learn. AMS/BR/Nisei/ETS pays more for thier cores than these people sell their entire kits for. Go do the research, they suck.

If I had to choose an eBay intercooler, I'd just stick to my stock one. There's no way in hell I'd run that crap.
