Pro of bar and plate: does a better job at keeping IAT low
Cons: heavy , does not recover as fast as tube and fin

If you track the car often, tube and fin is the way to go
If this is a street use car, bar and plate is better choice since it costs less
Thanks for the info.

I'm running around 400 bhp 430ft/lbs torque, was getting crazy heat issues on the dyno (I know it's not the same in real world driving) with the stock intercooler, 80 deg C was the highest on 3rd pull.

I've also got the pure turbo inlet pipe and fabspeed 200cell dp, both waiting to be installed at the end of this month and after stock run on dyno.

Looking forward to getting this intercooler on.
