aftercooler is junk... you want an air/air intercooler... best performance, best price, most reliable, easiest to install.... Unless yor building a drag car, then you might want an air/water so you can ice it.. but then again you can just cryo the air to air

procharger if you find a good deal - right now im going with treadstone on ebay - theyre a good company - good products etc, get an exhaust shop to make the pipes for you - dont use aluminuim- and get a steel intercooler

Don't forget Ebay.. There are plenty of vendors on Ebay that sell either generic kits for the application, or you could piece together a logical setup...
The vast majority of I/Cers I've seen on Ebay (in person), have had pretty decent build quality, w/ no issues of leaking end tanks or damaged cores...
Just my $.02

Oh, and if you can, Aluminum works as a better heat extractor than steel... Bar and plate tends to be a better design than tube/fin (I forget the other name for it..)..
