Default Mystery 993 Turbo/GT2 intercooler...

Hey folks,

Was wondering if you guys might be of any help trying to figure out who might have made this intercooler? It's 3.5" thick, but with little markings and having trouble finding something similar to it's design...








Any help is appreciated!

Don't know but looks nice!
Might be a one off, I've seen pics of intercoolers welded together at various shops.

Default FVD INTERCOOLER

A little off subject... I had FVD 993tt intercoooler offered to me a a good price ($1500) & I know I can get some $$ for my old one. I'm running 16/16g's & exhaust on Protomotive tune, no extra oil cooler yet, will I benefit a lot from this cooler? I've heard stock is pretty good.

I think most people feel it doesn't add much. TB993tt and Geofry have threads where they've tested back to back with stock and this intercooler didn't do as well as stock in the conditions they tested in. I have one in the garage that a friend gave me but don't use it. (although I'm planning on possibly cutting it up/changing the cores)
