    Cheap intercooler

    So I found this intercooler locally and was wondering if it'd be a good buy.
    Looks to be about 20" across. Not sure if that's a decent size for a low boost application on my car. (8-10?)

    $20 aint bad even for testing.

    Get a CXRacing intercooler off of ebay. They make good stuff and the prices are reasonable. Heck, I got mine and it came with piping kit, a bunch of silicone connectors that were good quality and a bunch of t bolt clamps.

    This looks like a nice kit:

    And it comes with piping! I didn't measure to see if it would fit in our cars, but it looks like the IC many people run here. I would go this route, it's cheap and the piping it comes with will save you some money.

    Something like this would be easier to route piping.
