Hello all, I have been shopping for an Intercooler. Right now, it will just need to support a few modest mods (think bolt on parts with a tune), but I wouldn't mind having the option of growing into it if I ever go crazy and start looking at turbo options. I am not exactly toting around Bill Gates or Oprah money but do not want to put junk on my car.
I believe the best way to get the most out of my money is to educate myself. I understand the basic differences in the two styles of construction but would like a little in put as what has worked best on these cars.
Does anyone have first hand experience with both a bar and plate style and a tube and fin style intercooler? Was there a noticeable advantage of one over the other?
EDIT: I ask here, because I have been learning a lot about these cars from reading here. I have been reading what is here about intercoolers and it has helped. A lot of what I am finding is brand specific and that is helpful, but I would like to learn a little more about how the two types perform in general.
