I don't understand the question. Like who do we like better personally as in the people who work for each place? It just doesn't seem relevant outside of that question because you're not referencing parts, tuning or anything along those lines.

what kind of power are we talking about? the ams is very nice and a good size up to 550-600 whp, but beyond that its starting to get a bit overworked. buschur makes a bigger core for high powered cars in addition to one just like what ams offers. dont exclude ets either, they make a variety of great intercoolers.

I think ETS should be added to that poll. Many might agree with me on their products.

Yup ETS is just as good as BR and AMS. It becomes what can you get the best deal on vs. which company you like more (for a myriad of reasons that are usually not car related).

My vote is for any intercooler which uses the Garrett 3.8" core. Buschur, CBRD and ETS make IC's using Garrett cores.

CBRD or JMF is best quality for most apps unless is high HP (over 600whp). just my opinion tho

JMF is not "quality" by any means. Do you have any products they have made? I do and it is not the best.

you do realize who fabs up parts for CBRD right? yes, I do have there parts, and yes, they are quality at least on my end. everything I have seen from them has been top notch. if your parts are different then it would be a first for me.

sorry to hear you got bad parts, always a bummer (no sarcasm)
