ok so ive always been wondering whats better , either making my own custom 2.5" piping and sticking with the stock intercooler , orrr doing custom 2.5" piping and getting an intercooler from ebay preferably the XS POWER intercooler, i choose this intercooler because its not to big and im always going to stick with my CT26 with shimmed wastegate to 10 psi :biglaugh: and p.s. is it smart to use aircraft stripper to strip all the black paint off the stock intercooler? yes i just want it to look sweet
