Default Spearco intercoolers?

In the grand scheme of things is Spearco known for making a really good intercooler? Are they considered one of the tops in flow and efficiency? Since this is my fist turbo car I’m not overly familiar with reputations.

Nice, very $$$ though. Excellent core quality and construction, one of the best in the business.. Flow and efficiency is more about correctly sizing a core for a particular application, most of the good brands will have around the same flow, etc., for a particular cross sectional area.. IMO, there are other brands that will give you the same level of performance for less money, so shop and explore all your options before making up your mind to go with Spearco. You can actually get custom ICs made with Spearco cores, for less money but with a little less bling. It depends if you care about super pretty end tanks and polished everything. I don't care, I'd rather save $$ personally.

It's still about getting the right calculations per CFM. Spearco is mostly bar/plate design which is better. Precission and PWR makes some bad ass shit too...

What mods have you done to your D16 to add the turbo. I have same motor and want to turbo it as well. It's a must that it stays reliable.
