Intercooler Choices?

[Joe_Stang]

If I was in the market today for a stock placement upgrade, I'd go CP-e without hesitation. It's a larger core, has cast endtanks with flow diverters, and right now it's on sale for a steal of a price.

^what he said. For $500 it's a steal compared to the other direct replacement ones.

The MAP is on $50 more and has free shipping, but I don't know the quality ' performance differences...

I have the MAP now. The fit is perfect, the quality is excellent. It made a huge difference over stock as you'd expect. The biggest thing I dislike is that it takes a VERY long time to recover once it gets heat soaked. In Florida that is a major concern. I have ordered a Levels and will be installing it, hopefully a day this week if it shows up. More surface area should result in faster recovery times.

I live in Florida too, very concerned about your heat soak recovery time comment, isn't a intercooler meant to expel the heat from the turbo so the engine doesn't get heat soaked, seems counter productive to me, please explain if I have it wrong.
