If you can buy a "whole intercooler setup" , with intercooler, bov and piping for $200 or less, I strongly encourage you to do so. I think I've broken down the value of this setup clearly in my first post, and the asking price is fair imo.

not to be an asshat but meh.
couple of IC pipes that will support zomg 500rwhp
200 for

I thought that screen name was familiar.

When I first saw the coldside I was like what the hell, that looks like it for a FWD. But he twisted the last elbow so it would be flat on the floor.

$200 for a GReddy Type-R??? WTF is he smoking? I got a GReddy Type-R off here and a GReddy Type-S locally. Combined price for both was less than $150...

Did you say 500WHP!? O.o

That's a GOOD deal then. the Type-R and Type-S are both discontinued and both VERY desirable. IIRC Neogenesis just sold his Type-R for $150.

otherwise all his piping is junk.

Neo actually sold his Type-R to me... I didn't quite pay $150. But close. I basically stole the Type-S from the local guy. He was kind of a dumbass to say the least. Haha!
