There are plenty of decent intercoolers out there. If you want to spend the money ETS can't be beat.

If you're not worried about the brand and just want basic function, then there are a lot of decent intercoolers on ebay for much less. I have been running an ebay core for about 2 years now at 17psi without any issues at all. Make a pot of coffee, reserve about 3 hours and check out the massive ebay intercooler thread for more info.

The ETS street core Here in my opinion is by far the best value vs function, avalible without Hack and slashing your own kit together.

ETS had a Sale on this setup not to long ago. Im shure if you called them, they might throw you a deal...
This kit is a Direct Bolt on.. You keep your Fog's and From what I read about it, This kit requires NO cuting of the bumper cover or core support..
Someone correct me if I'm wrong Please.
Thats the kit I would go with IF I hadn't bought another brand already...

BTW the SSAC kit is a PAIN IN THE ASS to install.. get ready for Alot of cutting and removing of certain components to install that beast...
This is the kit I currently use...
IF you choose this kit. There is a member here that sells it with ALL of the couplers you will need. SSAC tends to forget about one coupler and clamp... And you must deal with them Via Email which takes Forever! They are Very slow...

Also beaware depending on your Current or soon to buy turbo. You may need a different J-pipe then what these kits come with.
Im sorry, I just looked at your profile... you Will need this J-pipe with your 16G turbo.
Ask who ever you buy your Intercooler kit from, to remove the J-pipe from the package. Depending on who you buy from, They should reduce the cost of the kit.

I own the ETS as well. Cutting the bumper, bumper support, and radiator supports all depends on the set-up you get.

I got the ultra short route, and there was cutting of all the above, plus i did NOT keep the fogs. It all depends on the setup you choose, and what options you need.
