Default Turbo Performance Manifold/Intercooler

I'm not sure if this has been discussed but I wanted to get real world experience regarding their Manifold and Intercooler. I'm considering purchasing both due to the nice quality appearance and good prices and wanted feedback on their quality and performance. Are they built and produced by Turbo Performance or or they actually produced by another company?
Thanks for any info.
M

I am interested in one of their manifolds. Anyone seen/used/have one? What's your thoughts?

Is it work the extra for nickel plating (i.e., is the nickel plating more heat and crack resistant, or does it just look different?)

I got a chance to see one at the Street Dreams 2 show in Detroit. the diameter of the runners aren't too large...actually they're quite small. they're mild steel. and they do not recommend the nickel plating because it has been literally melting and dripping off lately.
For the price...i guess you can't go wrong. Viren (b18bturbo) used to use one before...and he said he liked it.

I actually made a post about this and got about 20 responses telling me to stay away from them.

do you by chance have a link to this post?

Thanks... I was about to order one, too. Any idea where I can get a good manifold for an h22? equal length would be great.

A friend of mine owns a performance shop in Rhode Island. He has now told me that he now has a hybrid IC available that can be custom made for any application. By hybrid I mean a combination of fin and tube design that will cool efficiently whether the car is in motion or still.

18 fins per inch
100% Tig Welded
100% Aluminum
Tube and Fin Design

He says he's has pros with 8 second cars come up to him and say it was better than the 2000$ Raccore that they bought. It sounds like there may be a really big market for this. What do you think? I would tend to think that people would jump at it, if it was really all he said it was. I do have pictures available.

Hey well maybe I don't post my own topics 50 times in a row like some of the people here. This is an idea to market, if you want to bash me, you can freaking go ahead. I'm here to get comments on something i'm considering placing for sale, not to find people who want to criticize my attempt. Thank you.

Jonathan

Im not bashing.....I just dont think the manifolds look of good quality and you asked what people thought of them. I think its good for you to offer people these items because they might like them and be interested. The price is really competitive though.
