i shouldve just started making my own aftercooler kits and selling them. seriously though, it's just a radiator that cools intake air...not that complicated. you non-ac guys who want cooler boost should definitely give this a try. i would have been on this in a minute if i didn't already have the comptech aftercooler

CT charges $1300 for an aftercooler kit, they go used for anywhere between $500 and $900 (if you're lucky enough to find one used). why not put together your own kit for under $300? other than the cooler unit all you should need is some coolant hose, coolant pump, and a small radiator. this looks identical to the comptech one and if modification is required, it should be minimal.

before i clicked the link, i was thinking where are you going to find the goofy style aftercooler comtech provides, and then bam, there it is.
kennebelle sells a really nice setup for there blowzilla setup with a pump/resovoir, and a really nice sized front radiator. i was going to look into it if the one i have for my roots blower cant keep up in the summer.

MADE IN CHINA. be careful...like all things... you get what you pay for. it would be a huge buzz kill if something went wrong and water was being fed into your motor instead of air

Its simple enough..you Put water in it,turn the pump on and after 5 min you can see if the water goes anywhere or not.If it doesnt leak its good to go.
I have some CHINESE MADE equipment at work (because we can't afford better american or europeon equipment, it's good enough for now) and they do the job, but the build quality sucks and long term it wont last.
just my thoughts. SOME CHINESE stuff is ok.
Good luck.
