I wouldn't go with that one if I were to buy an intercooler on Ebay. I would buy one from Just-Intercoolers, they're a vendor on there. I've heard people say good things about them. I have no personal experience with either one though.

yes my friends shop is the one that designed and sells that. all the testing for it was done on my car. i will dig up dyno graphs asap my harddrive died on my laptop so i need to get them from the shop. we saw similar gains to that of AMS intercoolers. its great quality and fitment retains factory crash beam etc. i can get you a good price shoot me a pm. thanks

i actually emailed the seller mazdaspeed20 and you can get it without the "byc" on the front.

spdracr, if you have pics of it showing the welds and possibly the dyno graphs that would be great.

I have a friend that owns a shop and a customer came in with one off ebay to have it installed. The fitment was horrible and had to have some fabrication work done to fit properly. I saw this first hand and helped put it together after the new pipes were made and welded up the thing is a piece of garbage.

this intercooler is much different from the others on ebay as soon as you get it you can tell the difference in construction. the welds are very nice i will get better pics i just sold one i had on my car that was a little different but its already boxed and shipped. i can get the pics soon but here are some pics off the ebay listing i have other pics but i dont kno if they will work. i'll have more sent of welds etc. asap. if anyone is interested i can get special EvoM pricing pm me. if you guys want i can arrange a group buy. NOTE* I am not a vendor and i am not making profit off this what so ever! i am just helping you guys out.

All well and good but it's still a typical chinese fmic. I've seen these before, they're the standard ebay AMS knock-off with a name sprayed on the front that use thinner truck-style bar and plate radiator cores instead of decent bar and plate cores designed for this type of use. FYI, a decent core's fins in between the bars don't bend very easily when you press on them, cheap cores will smash right in just like radiator fins.
