The Erebuni kit is the same as the mariah motorsports one but its not made of FB the front end is only $217. I was looking at a 98 Dodge Ram 2500 Turbo they have huge FMIC's https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png If I was going turbo thats what I would use

I saw a IC from a MACK truck man those IC's have like a 6" inlet and outlet.If only you could fit it in a FB it looked like it was 5-7" thick. :yum: Isn't mariahs kit made of FG like erebuni's?

I've heard of a few people who go cheap and get truck intercoolers instead of perfomance intercoolers. Bad Bad news. They are really dodgy :evildeal: as they are not capable of handling the sustained air charges for turbos designed for performance cars.

Again, check this link and see how some "truck" intercoolers do compared to "sports car" ones.



By the way too big an intercooler will make increase lag, so you have to find a happy medium between efficiency and lag.

I like the Starion IC I hear those are awesome for turbo swaps.I hear they are just about the right size for medium boost levels.If i was using a wrecker IC I think I'd go starion.Izuzu are awesome tho.
