No one argued that the core is same as stock. And if this is same as Rudys, they certainly are not same. But both models can be made by Garret.

Ahh well it did seem like you were stating that they were no different than the stock ones. So why do you think these would not provide any benefit? At least if the flow is the same we can count on them not leaking and staying cooler. I'd rather buy one of these units than another crap oem

Pansu

But is the flow same, that is the question again, becouse they are not same cores. Im only interest in is it same, better or worse.

I already say that stock looks better flowing, becouse it has more surface area. That why i want to see some results and not quessing "it might be better" or "some ones car is fast with this", those prove nothing in this matter.

scboost

Wow... Did you read what I wrote. I asked your opinion on durability and cooling ability on this new model. Not flow. Do you have flow numbers on your units?

Pansu

I have no real opinion in cooling matters, but if i must quess, maybe this is better for cooling becouse single pass(atleast with powerfull pump), but still core size is same as stock wich is not so good.

And if this flows worse, then this is not good for powerfull setups or some one like me who want to upgade. Why not reveal these informations to make this more interesting product, i dont want to buy product which throttles the power, better cooling and no leak is not enought at least for me.

I ordered mine from Rudy recently asked him if these were his he said no.

Must be a misunderstanding somewhere. :/

You're kind of confusing me here, since you're saying you want to use the intercooler on an upgraded car, but you have no opinion on cooling matters. That's kind of contradictory, since flowing "x+1" amount of air isn't necessarily going to make as much power as flowing "x" amount of air that's cooler, because colder air is more dense with oxygen and oxygen (not "air", which is a solution of oxygen, nitrogen, etc.) is what allows fuel to burn/make power.

I'm happy to answer your questions ... just not sure I can follow what you're talking about.

Also: PS you guys, we sold the last one- it'll be about a week before we have another core in, and we should have 2 on the shelf by April.

GTA_C63

My apologies I jumped the gun and misunderstood what Rudy said, These are the same ones he is selling as well.

Sorry about the confusion

Pansu

So why you dont answer the questions? Pictures of core and flow capasity. Im very confused to understand how you americans do busines You all buying things without knowing anything about the product(?), very wierd. Or flow is so terrible that you dont want to say it, i understood, you have to make money

I mean if cooling capasity is near the same than stock, but flow is much better, then i dont care about cooling capacity. Hope this solve this matter.

Data like this blogger did with the Nissan radiators would be really helpful to sell a $1000+ cooling product for a 12 year old AMG.

charts, empirical data would be nice. Other then being an aftermarket unit that is a little cheaper then oem, why is yours better?

I bought one of these last year. The core is smaller than stock, the opening towards the kompressor is smaller than stock and fitment was poor; I contacted speedriven about the fitment but got no response, so I was forced to make it fit with a grinder.

Only advantages seem to be that these are cheaper than OEM, and that there is a chance that these don't start leaking (unlike the OEM ones).

Pansu

Awesome product and good customer service, so sad to hear.

vaiste001

So 90 % of the OEM product price and you have to grind to fit? How much does a grinder cost? Trying to see some advantages here.

You Finn guys are killing me

Come on. We are northern trolls with a very bad and dry humor.

Personally I like German precision and use Stihl.

If anyone chooses to buy the intercooler buy it threw speedriven not threw Rudy, nothing against Rudy but you will be spending more money going threw Rudy. Found out that he buys the units from them and sells them on his own for the same amount but only difference is he is selling just the unit for $1100 non thermal coated and shipped to Rob at Needwings where thermal coating is extra.

Compared to Speedriven $950 plus $150 for thermal coating $1100

So I am thinking my intercooler is leaking... is it possible to remove it and fix it? Is the problem with these things a cracked weld? A pin hole? Corrosion? Wear (rubs a hole in it)?

I have not pulled mine yet and am wondering what my options are. Where do these things leak from - specifically please. Or are there any number of places they leak from?

Thanks
