I see those Godspeeds IC all the time on ebay but never really considered buying one.

For that price I would go with the Big Tom IC

Tulsadriven ( i think thats his SN) installed this. Like other FMIC you cant put the plastic sheild back on but thats the only con. Other than that he pressure dropped on the hot side and he seen 20-30 degree temps drops. Their was another guy that said their was metal flakes in his but i would blame that on the shipping company dropping it and damaging it.

One of the ETS guys mentioned on the forum that they have tested their cores from a different intercooler not N54 specific and stated it wasn't very efficient. This is using the idea that they would utilize the same cores for all intercoolers they produce which most companies do to keep costs down. I can't remember the details but it wasn't good. You can do a search to find the details.

Godspeed actually makes good intercoolers and radiators for other cars. That's their specialty. I think everyone is more scared because they don't cater to a specific brand or car. Its more universal.
