Well he ended up deploying and I ended up just buying an On3 kit. Upgraded to their "race intercooler" which was a $200 option, just to make sure it flowed well and I knew it would fit the kit. Get it in the mail and I kid you not, it is the same exact intercooler as the VS Racing, to a T. It's just polished and has "on3 performance" stamped in it. But literally the exact same thing. Same welds, same dimensions, same everything.
So, my point in saying this, buying an IC, the upcharge buying from some of these companies is insane for the same product you can get cheaper elsewhere. Save some $$$. Just don't want to see y'all get ripped off like I did.

Thank you for further illustrating my point! I've been trying to tell people about these sorts of situations for years! Kinda like the fact that you can make your own E85 flex fuel sensor 'kit' for under $100 rather than paying some vendors $400!!!!!
