Eh, I wouldn't call it proof until you logg a good few thousand miles on it. No one ever said that the Ebay ones wouldn't work at all, just that they probably wouldn't work that long, and I think that some companies offer warranties on theirs as well, which I'm not sure about the ebay ones.

 

+1

 

Any other minor mods? Reason im askng is that is my ultimate goal for my car is 400 rwhp.

 

Hater j/k
The I/C has a 1 year warrenty. I have friends that have bought the epensive i/c and the cheap ones. Mines looks as if it was made in the exact process as my buddies $500 i/c on his evo. I could almost say they are identical except for his has a really expensive sticker that says his brand. lol There probably mostly made in the same sweat shop using 10 year old slave workers anyway. We'll see I guess btu for now it's workin good. I just wish the winter would just go away.

 

not quite... mine only loses 1 lbs and 19 lbs. But thats just boost leak/pressure drop, thats not a measure of the cooling capacaity/effectivness. Youll gett a better idea when you add more boost. Sorry to rain on your parade a little bit, but that what you said about the intercoolers is just not true. Congrats on the charger though

 

+1 his evo cooler probly is a cheap china part lol

 

700hp EVo, i'm going to imagine there's nothing cheap on his car.

 

Well yeah, there isn't that much to an intercooler, Its basically a radiator without any coolant running through it, I doubt it would be seriously hard to make. I bought mine from a place in town, and they guarantee their stuff, so I trust that a little more, but you're right, there's probably not much difference, at least visible difference.

His might have gone through a more rigerous inspection process, which would have driven the cost up, you never know, all you know is that yours is going to be running nice and cool

 

that thing looks bad ***.its going to keep that blower cool.

 

No it isn't, considering the air blows through it after the blower, the blower will get just as hot as it would without one, its just that the air entering the intake is going to be cooled
