next is all the gaskets and studs and the smaller things

also went to order bearings today and was given 2 choices

oem or H bearings

h bearings being way more expensive and also alot harder
oem should be good enough i would think

hmmmm sorry bud but is that an ebay intercooler. The core looks good but that style of end tanks isn't the best. What size inlet/outlet 2' or 2.5" and how thick is it?

End Tanks like this would flow better[Image: intercooler.jpg]
