yeah if you're gonna do a pretty big build with some major power, you'll prolly wanna skip out on the intercooler from eBay, but piping is just piping, and the T-Bolts are pretty good from what i hear.

well form the info he gave us and the questions he asked i was assuming he wasn't going to be pushing much power at all. i

if you are planning on pushing any decent power (275whp+) you will definatly want to get a quality brand IC. between ebay IC's and quality named IC's there is a 30-70 degree difference in temps.

I suggest getting quality parts rather than cheap ebay stuff, unless you wanna join the Blown Motor Club. What are your power goals?

Dude. Intercooler piping? are you joking me? Theres no way you can go wrong with ebay intercooler piping other than a little bit of improper fitment.

No I am not joking you. I know that for the most part, piping is piping, and that an ebay intercooler won't blow your engine. I was responding to the suggestion of buying intercoolers off ebay and cheaper parts in general.

ebay gets the job done. that's just about as far as it goes. it does heat soak a lot faster and a lot more than a qualty part (FMIC's AND the piping heat soaks). if you are only wanting 150whp than the smic will do just fine for you but i'd still suggest something that will stay cooler... fmic, supra smic.
