Default Intercooler

Looking for an intercooler upgrade. Does anyone have a line on a Kolkeln?
I heard they went out of business, and Andial no longer makes them either. Any other good options?
TIA

What's the story on the Fabspeed? Is it based off the Kokeln?

Just bought one from TurboKraft. Haven't used it yet, so I can't give you a review.

TT,
I found another thread posted by the Fabspeed person and they have a discount until the end of the year. Something like $150 I believe. He mentioned they used the Kokeln design but improved on it. Let me see if I can find it.

What's the quality like on a BB? Their exhaust don't have a great rep.

So based on what is currently available the choices are TurboKraft, Fabspeed, B&B, and Rarly8.
TurboKraft- Now this unit really impresses me, top quality workmanship with great pressure and temp numbers. Based off the Garrettson IC? Also available in black is a plus. It is a long neck conversion.
Fabspeed- Also looks like a very nice piece,also a long neck conversion. Based off the Kokeln IC. Good flow and pressure numbers on the website. The only issue I can see is the red hoses and lack of support brackets which the others have. Is it a non issue?
B&B- available as a short and long neck conversion. The short neck is a direct and easy bolt in. The long neck conversion requires an $800 kit. Available in black.
Rarly8- Also a plug and play short neck IC. Based off a Bell IC core. I have not been able to find any data co compare with the other units.

Can you expand on the lack of support brackets? I am also close to pulling the trigger and I was going to go with the FS.

There is a thread on pelican called 'intercooler woes', it goes into the issue.
Being that TK is the same price or less, might be worth comparing to b4 you make up your mind.

That was back in August. I wonder if they have addressed the problem. I thought the silicone hoses were a good thing, maybe not.
