That seems pretty big. What car is this going in, and are you willing to cut the bumper support if needed?

Both are very nice intercoolers. Most PWR intercoolers are expensive, because they have custom sheetmetal endtanks. Precision has been able to cut costs by using cast endtanks.

Sheetmetal is shiny'er...

Both are great choices...I used to always reccomend PWR but I now really like Precision's intercoolers.

How much heavier is the precision. I was told that the Precision intercooler is pretty heavy.

Also, how are these compared to a Spearco core?

I know my precision is heavier than a similar sized spearco counterpart, but maybe someone has an exact weight difference, as i would like to know as well

are PWR intercoolers the only ones that allow a "back-door" turbo set-up?

I have an AIC-750 Precision intercooler. It's going to be BBE coated black in a couple weeks. As far as which intercooler being better. I only have an opinion as I have seen no comparisons/tests between the two.

Default Re: PWR vs precision (GOLDBERG)

what additional info do you need?. everything is in this thread. the bar and plate is highly efficient. the endtanks are cast for cost reasons but only serve aesthetically. an angled endtank regardless of cast or sheetmetal/aluminum is better than a square tank. the garrett cores are very nice(what precision uses) and they are a lot cleaner between the fins than most tube n fin.
