Treadstone Performance Intercooler?

[neoc03]

I am planning on running in the neighborhood of 450hp on my setup. I've got almost everything together, and now I'm picking the intercooler. I really don't trust any eBay ching-chong crap. However Treadstone Performance makes this one that I'm really leaning towards:

It says it's rated to 666hp which is well over what I plan to be running. I'm just curious if anyone has heard of them or has used their intercoolers and what they thought about them.

Thanks in advance

I really don't have an opinion on Treadstone....after all, my turbo is factory installed.

I just can't get past your "ching-chong crap" comment.

...and 666 works for Beelzebubba

ebay intercoolers work pretty well imo, i dont know about 450+whp. althought my cousin did have an ebay intercooler and was running in the neighborhood of 350awhp, so im pretty sure itll be good up to that. any much further i just dont give a facccccccck, idk..

i dont know anything about that particular company, but i do know you dont want to run an intercooler thats overrated for your power goal b/c it will increase your boost lag. remember the turbo has to fill that whole intercooler up with boost before it can get shuved into your motor, i would try to find something a hair smaller targeted closer to 450hp

Yeah I just started thinking about that myself. Thanks for the input guys. The one that is one step down is rated @ 510. Guess thats the one.
