ok i have got to get this build done. its been a full year with a new born kid in the house. im pretty much there. i don't really wanna put the old top mount intercooler on cuz i will be installing a greddy front mount kit in the future. i have the front bumper with more room for the front mount. so long story short im laid off and have a 1 year old kid. has anyone ever used the godspeed intercooler before? i don't wanna here how much better a hks or a greddy is i allready know that. i just want something that will last for about a year and do its job with out falling apart. if anyone has used one of these godspeed kits and its worked out ok let me know.

The clamps that come with the kit are terrible, they will cause many boost leaks. It will work better than the stock top mount. Obviously no where near as well as a nice intercooler, like the Garrett units. It will get the job done ok on a stock turbo...

so if i got the kit and some better clamps the piping would still be good right. anyone know the diameter of the piping versus a greddy or hks kit? how about the couplers are they worth a damn? i would just use the piping in the future and upgrade the intercooler itself with a nicer unit down the road if the piping is the same
