Kleemann Guys: Is there a larger heat exchanger that fits?

It looks like my heat exchanger is leaking from the end cap on the left side (not the side where the hoses go in). It may only be leaking when cold, but I'm not sure. I noticed a little puddle under it at the track last night but after a few runs it had dried up, but it definitely looks like coolant. If I have to go through the PITA to replace this damn thing, if there's an upgrade that'll fit I might as well use it. Has anyone experimented with this or is the Kleemann unit more than sufficient?

I was thinking about the same thing for my buddies car. The kleeman H/E is tiny and there seems to be a lot of room behind the bumper. ZZPerformance has a few large H/E and I think they will fit.

I asked the same question when I got my klee blower..... cory advised the klee H/E is very efficient and plenty for my needs.

I have not data-logged IAT's......

I couldn't really find anything on Summit Racing that looks like it'll work and I don't really see anything on ZZPerformance's site either. Cory said he's going to send me another one under warranty. Now I just gotta put the darn thing in and bleed it again when it gets here...
