As I said I was running it at 330whpish in Florida summer heat and it was a noticeable improvement. I don't think this is an intercooler for big turbo guys, but stock or stockish turbo it seems great. It's not massive compared to stock but it is bigger and cools better. If posting pictures here wasn't such a pain I'd send some comparison pics.
Also I think I've purchased the last two that were in the U.S. so sorry about that guys...

for what its worth, SETRAB USA has a clearence sale of some really nice IC cores.. tube and fin...
we have been using some cheap, but well engineered, tube and fin cores that work extremely well on a 2.0 with hks turbo.. the only problem with cheap chinese ICs is that they use cast end tanks that are heavy..

Seeing that you guys have fab skillz any interest in building me an intercooler? If not, Im going to have to find a competent local fabricator as I can't weld AL. Very interested lets make it happen!!

Hey get outa here I called dibz
On second thought, assuming those quantities are still current which according to the date, I don't believe they would be but nonetheless, Im not sure any of those core sizes would be ideal. The closest I think would be the 58-60012-90 but at 8" tall I feel like that seems kinda short off the top of my head.

Yeah most likely. However if it can be built to my specs then the cost might be justified. Or even better I pick up an AC Tig machine and build it myself. But lets be real here the progression would be more like buy machine practice for the next couple years at least and then maybe I'd be able to build an intercooler of quality.
I wonder if there are decent cast end tanks available to purchase? That would certainly cut down on the fab costs but of course now the cost is built into the cost of the end tanks.

iv'e been on the fence about picking up an Everlast 210ext
http://www.everlastgenerators.com/pr...wertig-210-ext
I hear good things about it, specs look great, just wondering if i will regret not spending more and getting a Miller.

I've got a Lincoln Powermig 210 which thus far has been an awesome machine. Its a multiprocess unit however unfortunately the TIG outfit is DC only so that wont work for AL. I can get a spoolgun for it and do AL but a little birdie tells me that would be better suited for thicker stuff so I've come to the conclusion that Im better off buying a dedicated AC TIG machine to handle the AL. But I will say the Powermig is a great MIG welder so not all is lost.

we have the syncro 350's at work that are super nice but also expensive and take 3phase.

My dad has an old Miller MIG from the 80's. It doesn't even have an intermittent fan...LOL. I put a new lead on it for him last year because the old one wasn't feeding well. Other than that the thing just keeps on going. I'll have to see what model it is when I get home. It's a beast. Welds 3/8 steel plate on like the middle power setting LOL.
