Tippy,
The intercooler was adequate for my needs, it had plenty of cooling capacity, but I just never could get it to sit right. This is strictly for asthetics. The treadstone intercooler looks awesome, and would also be a great choice. It looks like a lot of the high dollar custom 930 intercoolers that are sold north of $3000. The intercoolers with the end tanks oriented front and rear looks much nicer. If I wouldn't have already ordered the Evo X, I would have been interested in the one you bought. I am only running 10lbs of boost, so pretty much anything would be adequate for my cooling needs.

It's made for a V8 car. Sorry the IC you bought from me didn't work out for you. I was going for bigger power, so I thought I needed a much bigger IC (higher flowing CFM). Honestly, I didn't pick up much power as far as I could tell from my butt dyno, and the turbo was laggier due to the increased volume of going from 2.5" ducting and IC to 3".
Point is, the IC I sold you was adequate for my estimated 600+hp.
Anyways, I had to cut off both inlet and outlet pipes and move to different locations. I also added bosses to mount it flat instead of vertical like a V8 car has it. It was a decent amount of work to make happen, but I am totally happy I'll never have to buy another IC again as it's good to 1300hp I think.
