    That's an air to air kit which is cool if you got turbo. The SC needs air to water intercooling. There are kits on there for that too.

    1. thats only half an intercooler for us really... just the heat exchanger and piping (which means its probably for a turbo)
    2. will not work for our cars as our IC systems are only water/air types (yes there are air/air types but they may as well not exist)

    save for a good kit...

    Ebay front mounts aren't all that great anyway. I would go frozenboost for Air/Air or AFCO for Air/water.

    If I can find the thread..A couple of people on ClubGP have used kits like that for their turbos and it worked just fine.

    A lot of people use them on budget turbo builds. For something I was daily driving I would go with something else.

    Actually many have had excellent results pending the size.

    Buddy of mine uses these cheapo IC's from EBay on his stupid 60mph burnout DSM's.

    They work just fine for the money...and hell, if they fail...you can buy like a handful of them for the price of ZZP's...just think about it that way

    You CAN'T use that with a supercharger. It's an Air to air intercooler. I hope you didn't buy it.
