I am sure they are not any different than the better ebay cores out there. With that said, I have an ebay core on my car and haven't had any problems making close to 600whp on race gas with it.

^^^ true that. While quality cores are more efficient, the difference between an e-bay and quality brand core are minimal given that there is more than enough intercooler length in the front of the car to still cool the charge. There is theoretically more pressure drop on a lower quality core, but if you have a turbo that can efficiently pump air at slightly higher PRs almost the same as slightly lower PRs, then it barely matters once again. With a small turbo, the improper sizing and quality of an intercooler can very quickly set you back.

 

Integroid what size intercooler do you have? Any pics?
