IntercoolerR BreakdownN

After searching for about 2 hours today I decided to start this thread.
I think it would be a useful guide for purchase of a new intercooler.
This is what I am looking for from as many of you as possible:

Brand of Intercooler:

Model and or Type:

Flow rate and or pressure drop:

Piping required if any:

Modification for fitment if any:

Weight:

Picture of Intercooler:

Dyno:

Price:

Please help out with this. I know most of this can be done just by looking at the stats from the producers, but I want to see real world examples. I think this would help out alot of us.

I have my selection narrowed down to AMS, ETS, Perrin, and Greddy, for my personal selection, but this is not just for me I want this to be a unbiased tool for the community.

keep in mind an intercooler is not a power adder, simply an anti knock component, generally only necessary for larger turbos or high(30+ psi) boost applications

i went with ETS, great price and fitment. i have the 3.5" and can keep my crash beam for when im not at the track.

it has been proven that a good intercooler yields gains horsepower and torque.
not only an anti knock component.
