manufacturing country is not important, what matters in the finished product, design and quality control Get an ebay intercooler, compare it with a VRSF one and you will see obvious differences (use my first post as a reference)

For a fair comparison, intercoolers need to be tested on the same car same mods, preferably same day and same road. Other factors like ambient temp vs starting temp should be considered as well

Not all intercoolers offer a noticeable upgrade over stock. All proven brand intercoolers do I have seen some ebay intercoolers with ridiculous core density and finish. .. Highly doubt they will do any better than stock

A big intercooler with low fin density might lower IAT based on size alone but pressure drop will suffer

Overpriced. Save your $$$ especially if that far away from upgraded turbos.

My previous two 335s were AMS, and Helix systems so I look forward to comparing the Wagner to those.

Most people don't know the difference because they go from stock to VRSF and think hell yeah because they did a mod. But honestly if you compare their products to what a lot of the other vendors are offering it's not even close. You get what you pay for.
