Good job Yak. I had a feeling this intercooler would perform just fine but I was just worried about possible fitment issues. I'm glad this has worked out for you.

I will have to really think about going this route. I don't want to spend 500+ on a IC, and $340 is a do-able # in my opinion. If burger's IC is in the same range of performance I'll probably go this route to save the $$.
If possible, if you could do a normal day and get it to heatsoak (drive for a while, then sit at a stop for 30 seconds) and then start taking logs that would be great. It helps us to see how quickly the IC can drop its heat during normal driving conditions.

Still waiting for Burger to release their IC, once they do I can compare the REV9 and the BMS and finally make a decision...

These are now $300 or $330 with (blue, black, red) silicone hoses. Can go painted black or silver on IC itself. Gonna pick one up! FYI.

Are they all the same with a different brand name? Lol
That's a good assumption. If I was a betting man, I would go all in that each big name company doesn't manufacture its own cast endtanks and subcontracts the intercoolers out of the Far East.

Based on my conversation with a distributor when buying my IC, I can confirm that most of the big names are 100% made in China.
The materials, specs, and QC are exponentially more important than the country of origin.
Those will be the differences between the no-names and the big names...the only question is how good is good enough??
Personally I went Uni, but if the Rev 9 checks out after more testing that could be a great option.
I'm very happy with their downpipe (once welded into a 1 piece).
So, I guess Wagner, IE, APR ICs are all made in China?

I.E. Units are welded and tested in Utah from what I've seen on their website.

I'm assuming my Becker DP off eBay is chinese made, the welds are gorgeous and the metal is high quality stainless. Go figure. They really have stepped up their QC
The Far East, yes. They are all made by these guys
