what do you guys think? I am thinking about buying this for a bud of mine who is constantly working on my car (1g talon). He wants an npr intercooler, but I can't find one anywhere.

This one look good at all?

If he doesn't mind having the 2.5" inlet and outlet, I would have to say that it looks good. Piping is another issue, though.

looks good to me, or try this guy he seems to be a reputable guy here on tuners... also do a search for "JR FMIC" or something. his name is Jr and supposedly makes some good FMIC's for < 250

Tell him that a NPR is a great deal if you can find one for next to nothing, but you have to be careful that you watch your total investment. I ran an NPR till a couple days ago (sold before removal) when I decided to pull it in favor of another FMIC search. I only paid 5 bucks at a junkyard for mine since it was a little damaged on the one end when I bought it. I had a good bit of time invested in making sure that it was the proper size and sealed when I could have just gone to work and paid extra for on that was actually made for my car.

Another question:

If you had a 1G(or do have one) would you want a long skinny front mount or one with dimensions such as 31 by 12?

1g's don't have a very large air dam... You can put in a bigger intercooler, but after say 10 inches high all it does is kill airflow to the radiator. Depending on power goals, I'd shoot for like 25-30 inches long, 3 inches deep and max 10 inches high. That'd be good for probably 500+bhp imo. A lot of 1g'ers even go shorter and still push 400'ish hp fine. Myself, I ordered the JR ebay ic, 25x5.5x3 I believe cuz I don't plan on running bigger than my 16g and 20-22psi, should be great and easy fit.

Those look like poor end tank designs, IMO.

hack up the air dam so you get more air flow, it increases efficacy and looks damn sexy
