The conclusion:

In terms of outright airflow, the aftermarket

Trust core convincingly proved to be the best in

this group of fifteen. The best heatsink award

goes to the Subaru STi intercooler (even without

the added weight of its aluminium Y-pipe). But -

most importantly - the overall winner must

surely be the Mazda Series 4 and 6 RX7

intercoolers. Costing a mere $200 each, these

flowed very well and had adequate heat-sinking

abilities. On the same value-for-money basis,

other honourable mentions are the Celica GT4

and the RX7 Series 5 intercoolers.

The article isn't really as interesting as it sounds. I'm not convinced the tests mean much in the real tho world because they didn't test the performance of the coolers as heat exchangers.
