Indeed,
I know a very competent aluminium welder.. so it might make sense to buy one of those IC's and have him redo the end tanks..
Although the quoted 130$ shipping to Finland seems excessive.. I wonder if there's a cheaper way to get it shipped.

I keep hearing about the core size and quality. How does this differ from one i/c to another? Why are there really cheap intercoolers and some much more expensive ones? By size maybe I mean porosity, not acutal size of core. This I understand.

The welding is a work of art. Although I will be paying for it I am happy to have an expert make something just for my car rather than something off the shelf. The cheaper option will probably be approx 85% as good but I will leave the car with him on a Monday and pick it up on a Friday all fitted and drive away. I shall post photo's within a month.

What have they said about the effect on cold air flow through to the radiator?

Thanks Patrick. I guess I was more concerned at the effect of the air being heated by the IC before actually getting to the radiator rather than just the flow to the radiator. Have they made any comments?
My concern is that with the power projections some of us have, it may be really pushing the envelope to expect the stock radiator to cope, especially if it has wamrer air entering because of the IC position. Say we are increasing power output by 100% +, we have roughly that much extra heat that also needs to be disipated. My other concern is that placement of the IC in front of the radiator may also limit the opportunity to upgrade the radiator if that does in fact become necessary.

THat one was my first choice.
24 inch is the max. Unless you want to cut the light buckets.

I looked at that cooler as well, but size, and inlet/outlet size with the fact that it will cover more of radiator and sit lower made me design against, it does have better flow though.

Alex, I got the GN IC last year. The pipes are not a direct fit, best to get the unit with straight in/out.
