New Intercooler.

I just changed my intercooler. I had a Forge and now I bought a PAW intercooler, "USA made" the reason why I bought it is cause the side tanks are casted not welded pieces like the Forge.

I have a friend who has an Ebay one and it is well made and has had it for a year, the one I got from PAW in Miami it made real nice what I liked about it was that the side tanks are one piece and it looks just like the Forge but the fitment is a bit better. What I liked was the USA made Well I paid $675.00 for it. :D

Well the Forge which was on my car has the same type welds and it was not as smooth inside and also the intercooler side tanks are not casted so more welds to fail on the forge.
