so i need to buy an intercooler for my new car..and i wanna do a front mount..would it be a bad idea if i go w/one off of ebay? or is it basically the same thing..i mean..all i would have to do is get the piping done..jw if the intercooler itself would work as any other one or just as good

"Air pushed threw the intercooler at 25 inches of pressure.
Stock Intercooler: 172 CFM ST 185 RC air to water Intercooler: 230 CFM Greddy 253 CFM Spearco 320 CFM" tested by chrisk on mr2oc here is a good example of the POOR work done by ebay companies http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/t114701.html and a bar and plate is defenitly better then tube and fin i believe btw wat car are you putting this on?

SSautochrome do very good downpipes, they are decent quality and popular in the UK.
