so i need to buy an intercooler for my new car..and i wanna do a front mount..would it be a bad idea if i go w/one off of ebay? or is it basically the same thing..i mean..all i would have to do is get the piping done..jw if the intercooler itself would work as any other one or just as good

stay away from the typical ebay intercooler...
xoxo, ssautochrome....and similar brands they are very very poor design

will ones like that be a completely bad idea? it must be somewhat better than a stock one?

"Air pushed threw the intercooler at 25 inches of pressure.
Stock Intercooler: 172 CFM
ST 185 RC air to water Intercooler: 230 CFM
Greddy 253 CFM
Spearco 320 CFM"

tested by chrisk on mr2oc

here is a good example of the POOR work done by ebay companies

SSautochrome do very good downpipes, they are decent quality and popular in the UK.
