New car, shot intercooler, ebay replace? low hp/psi setup
I bought a turbo GSR, and the intercooler is rusted, the pipe from turbo into intercooler is actualy dented really badly and keeps popping out, no matter how i tighten its shot, and its got a votech BOV that flutters instead of just the pshhh... i was looking at:

^that looks like a perfect match to what i already have other than the Vortech BOV and its pipe...
also these 2

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/INTER...#ht_3836wt_960
i just need something to keep it going for now... its a small turbo, just need the intercooler going again, and the BOV fixed...
if these are crap or what not, anyone know where a good affordable one would be?

Well all three listing are expired but ebay intercooler's are fine just make sure you rinse it out really good before you install it, I've seen them come with crap in them before.
As for the bov is it adjustable? It sounds like its not opening and you're getting compressor surge which is bad.

Sounds to me like your hearing the wastegate opening, not the bov. Ebay intercoolers are not the best out there but they will work great for your setup. I have found ebay bov's to work pretty good as well.
Yea, it is adjustable... (currently i am cleaning my IAC valve, praying to go it dosent go out on me)... here is a few more posts, maybe these work? i was going to compare it to my current pipe visualy and see...

ok, well i mean i figured it all piping, and since what i have is bent, rusted, and hard to keep on, that anything would be better lol... and im going to try and adjust my BOV and see if that does anything for me
