I have a Godspeed FMIC on my GTST with a Greddy piping kit. Seems fine to me and no problems. I think there is a sponsor on the forum that sells Godspeed products.

After researching ebay turbo kits for my old car, It seemed to be a common consensus that the intercoolers were one of the only parts of the kits that were actually good quality.

For what it would cost you with shipping you could probably get a better name brand one used for that.

No.

There was a comparison between an ebay intercooler and a proper intercooler (can't remember which company, maybe Greddy?) and the difference between the two was huge. If you have a stock GTR fmic it will be far better than an ebay one. The amount of cooling from the ebay FMIC was just ridiculously poor.

If you just want it for looks, then I guess knock offs are fine, but if you want it for performance than I'd definately leave it stock or hold out for a proper one.

Check out a company called CXracing, my buddy bought a intercooler kit for his 88 supra. It works amazing, I'm buying one and getting a greddy piping kit or something to go w/ it.

Hope this helps, cheers

like i told you before, a stock GTR intercooler is actually pretty decent. you are downgrading if you go to an ebay intercooler.

they seem to work fine, good friend of mine has a godspeed front mount on his gts-t, running a gt30 turbo, works pretty well, i think its ok to use ebay for intercoolers, godspeed products seem to be decent from what ive seen! but as always if you have the money buy a TRUSTed brand.
