Ebay. They are bar and plate intercoolers which are better than tube and fin.

Plus, its pretty hard to expletive up an intercooler. Save yourself the $130 and buy the ebay one.

That is unless the brackets, endtanks and welding hasn't gone through hell.

I'd stick w/ the Precision or Sparco.. Save the piece of mind, not just the cash.

i thought tube/fin had less pressure drop but slightly less cooling capazity while the bar and plate cooled better but had more turbulence

When I did a few searches on here, I found that the majority believe that bar and plate are more efficient.
