installed my XSPower intercooler this week
took me about 3 hours yesterday for the install. it was pretty straight forward except you have to cut the under tray because the intercooler hangs about 2 inches lower than stock. the xspower intercooler is considerably heavier than stock, it weighs 25.5 lbs with the lower intercooler pipes. the stock was so light that my digital scale wouldn't register a reading but i guess it's between 5-10lbs. i paid $180 shipped for it on ebay, i've seen other lower intercooler pipes alone go for well over that price. i'll do some data loggin next week and compare the intake air temp with my previous data with the stock intercooler, and hook the wideband back on to see if the air fuel ratio changed any. enjoy the pics.

I have been wanting to log some data on this core as well, just cannot find the time lately.
I did notice that about 2 psi of boost fell off, but easily returned with a lil bump on the hallman. 21-22 psi all day
You cannot really beat this intercooler for the money (ebay as well, only bidder), especially when you you sell the lower pipes to your buddy for $100 bucks.
I know a few guys running this setup, and we all love it.
