Q:
I am looking at twin turbo intercoolers to install in my S30. Dont want to spend an arm and a leg obviously. Anyone used one from this guy?

A:
Ive got one from him I havent used it yet. But, to me the quality looks good on it. But, seeing as how I havent acutally used it yet im not gonna promise its good.
A:
what motor are you running in the s30? the L28?
if I was running the L28, I would go with an intercooler with a silgle inlets and outlet.
If all were equal, none would be strong.

A:
Yeah im with B on this one. If its a single turbo setup or a twin setup with a single TB thats not the IC you want.
Still not what I would go for. Dual inlet single outlet FMIC's are out there. The 3000gt VR4 guys run the one youd want.

Should be interesting to see your setup.
So this guy is good to buy from? Looks like he's got pretty decent prices.

L28DETT, like the sound of that.
Might have to add a KA to the front of it though:)

Flying Miata show good performance for that style of IC over the conventional IC that Corky Bell likes.
Porsche use a similar IC to that style too.
I would go water cooled after doing some research on AUS sites.

Only thing I see is that it may be interesting to do piping. The long (30" total length) intercooler with the cross flow design will require some room up front without having to use hard 90 degree elbows...is there that much room to be had? I did some quick measuring on my "drag car in progress" and you'll be pretty hard pressed to bring the pipes around the way you'd probably want them without getting into the fenderwells. If you're using a cast 90 or something like that, it could be done, but I would perfer a slightly shorter setup to be able to use smoother bends...just my 2 cents...
