Whos using a Starion intercooler?
I was wondering how many people are using it and your experience with it because I was thinking getting one for my ek civic.

We're using one on our D16Y7 civic running a 16G making 12lbs on stock motor (it was making 200 whp on the old 14B, I'd guess it's making like 220 whp now at 5500 ft elevation) and it works fine....no heatsoak problems yet....

I'm using one in my 95 LS, boosted 7psi. I've only had it for four days, and the weather has been in the 30's and 40's, so it's hard to tell exactly how much cooling it's doing, but if I feel the chargepiping on the compressor side, and the chargepiping on the throttlebody side, the throttlebody side is noticably cooler
I'm not sure if it's the IC (there's a chance there's a boost leak), but I'm getting around 1psi of pressure drop

I will be using a modded starion Core for my Built ZC setup. It has custom welded entanks with 2.5" inlet/exits.
I will be running 20+ PSI of boost at the track, and using something like the CO2 cooler to help at high boost.
