Hey yall! Well... I bought 2 intercoolers. They were both too good a price to pass up. Now I'm asking yall which one you think will be better for my application.

I have...

1 new tyrus 27x6x2 intercooler

Here is my planned setup:
t3/t4 turbo .48 a/r
custom revhardish manifold
hks ssqv bov
tial 38mm wastegate
3" exhaust
2.5" dp
2.5" ic piping
550cc injectors

help me decide which one to keep!

thanks!

figure this... if both i/c's meet ur goals.... u can toss in the tyrus... and sell the spearco for a bigger profit... buy something else that u need... i'm assuming you will make a larger profit on selling ur spearco than the tyrus and u don't care much about brands...

I would run the Spearco too. Or, you could always sell both and pick up a 8" Tyrus.

I'll be running it on a b18b engine with stock internals.

The guy who sold me the tyrus said it would hold up to 350hp and the guy who sold me the spearco said it could hold pretty much anything I threw at it.
