Just found this on ebay. I'm not familiar with them. Discuss.

scotty slc is infamous around these parts
They look nice... As long as their tests are accurate they seem to be a good quality.... I have a problem paying $2k-15K for intercoolers.... I just got done a new turbo system for my VW and a Spearco Air to water custom built for my location and needs cost me $825 shipped..... That was a custom 1 off unit w/ cast smooth radius end tanks etc.

A couple of guys posted this IC up already...
The end tanks are a very poor design... they could have utilized the space available and make them more efficient.

One end tank looks like it might be restrictive. Kind of hard to tell from the picture.

I believe these ICs have the same factory hose connectors which allows the use of factory hosing so you won't have to pay an extra 1k for something you don't need or may pop off.

+1. Yes, the Blownsix units have larger cores, but look at the restrictive end tanks:



Now look at the far superior EVOMS end tanks:



And my end tanks:
