intercooler comparison test

has there ever been a comparison test between different brands??

if so can someone link me to the page cause i cant find it, i only see a few individual test but nothing solid with back to back testing.

which ic is the best- ets, br, agp, ams, garrett, perrin, ect?

how big of a difference is it between them as far as cooling efficiency & making power go's??

i am very interested to know!

Look on buschurracing.com Dave has test results in his forum from a lot of different combinations. Real good info. I'll post a link later when I can get off my iPhone.

not dyno information but good info on cooling ability which is what a front mount is all about. the cooler and more consistent the charge the more power you will make safely.

i would personally recommend anything with a garret core cbrd, buschur, even ets offers one. if i had to choose one i would support cbrd but some would say im biased.

mike will kill me for saying this but i switched my ets 3.5 inch core out for a garret 3.8 inch core and made significantly more power. the dynos were not done on the same day but temps were .03 of a degree different from day to day and it was 25% more humid when i dynoed the garret core. (Raining outside). +27whp/19wtq take it for what its worth.

^^ damn, there cant be that much of a difference!

its to bad that these dyno numbers were not achieved on the same day which make it hard to compare..

thanks for your help tho
