Ah ----, I think I moved the links. I will have to redo it, damn. Sorry.
Trying to revive this thread and hope this doesn't qualify for hijacking.
Aaron, I currently have the Spearco same-side unit TU/FWD has been selling for some time. (1060 cfm?) I have a 2.2 T-III with a 6262 that will run about 20-22psi max on the street, and wish to push it to 30-34 on a few occasions if I get all my eggs in that one basket. I have been looking at the Treadstone coolers and really like their -vertical- designs similar to the Spearco I have. The Spearco's core is 6"x18" and Treadstone offers a core of 6"x25" *or* 9"x25". I'd really like to have a Garrett core, but the Treadstone is half the price. Does the Treadstone core quality really reflect their prices, or are they really that good? (or Garrett you pay for the name?)
Thanx for your input!

I personally think that Garrett cores are really that good, but then again I'm someone who doesn't complain about saving up to buy a GT series DBB turbo either. I just value good quality parts like that.
I have no experience with the Treadstone products, so I can't really say if the unit would or wouldn't hamper you from a technical standpoint.
The only real advice, and take it for what it's worth, is can you use the money you saved on the IC and put it towards something else on the car equally important? The money spent to me is sometimes peace of mind that you won't run into an issue with it. I guess that's why I'm not the best gambling kind of guy.
I moved my links so here are the pictures again, with final dyno results.
The van came in with a mitsu and a stock intercooler setup with raised boost.
I changed it to my EQ header from my Daytona, a .63 turbine housing Mopar + turbo with a 2.25" SV, and this custom intercooler setup, with a new calibration to get rid of the RRR, map bleeder, and G valve setup. The results were between 50-60 WHP and TQ across the board at the same target 20 psi.
Granted the Mitsu setup wouldn't hold boost up high like this will now, but the results are pretty good. It's fun to drive!
Power Gain
Torque Gain
That's a pretty big gain for sure. How much of it do you think came from the tuning vs. the hardware? Any way to guesstimate that?
Hard to say. I'm not thinking a great deal, simply because the van was pretty strong as it was. Funny though, as the cam was off a tooth retarded! I don't think it would've picked up a lick of power straight up, but it surely would've died a lot sooner. For a mitsu 2.5 it revved waaay too easily, which made sense once the new stuff went on and the power was down.
It took some investigating but got it figured out. To be honest, it made the mitsu combo much better than they usually are, as the peaks were settled down and it carried power much farther than most.
The AFR on the old setup, while not my preferred method of fuel mods, was pretty close to where they were left on the calibration. There's a bit more timing in it now up top to help carry the powerband with the cam straight up.
Wow, thanks for the info.
