lingling1337 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 The answer everyone will give you is buy a good used one and bulletproof it, or bulletproof your current one. Beyond that you're throwing $$ away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funnyman06 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Why on God's green earth would you want to spend money on a new stock intercooler. They are prone to leaking at that joint and they all fail eventually, even at stock boost levels. I would either buy a used one, fix yours, or you should buy a cheap used aftermarket one that will never have an issue. But to spend money on a brand new stock one is crazy.

Because even the best aftemarket units have a hard time out-flowing the OEM unit; the cooling is adequate, but not wild like say, a Process West. The ONLY weak point of the OEM TMIC is the endtanks. Using the BMB BPTMIC kit makes it more than hardy for most Stage 2 applications - . . . And for <$300 for a NEW OEM TMIC, well, you can't really beat that price. GOOD aftermarket TMICs are at least twice that - That's why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
