I haven't seen the Code3 unit, but I'm sure it's a quality piece.

I have seen the LET Heat Exchanger, and it is a very well-built mod.


With the added boost you will be running, an aftermarket Heat Exchanger is highly recommended. Any plans to dyno your car?

I went with the Code3 and for me, it was well worth the extra money. That being said, I have also ordered parts from LET and recommend them.

So if you want to save some money and get a very good HE, get the LET. If you want the ultimate HE, get the Code3.

The only info I think is out there is in a thread where LET and Code 3 "discussed" the benefits of bar and plate compared to tube and fin. I'm unsure if LET has a product ready to ship at this time...I'd give them a call.
