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

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.

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

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