2013 Regal Intercooler in a G Body??

[BooBoo231]

I was just browsing intercoolers on Ebay and came across an intercooler from the new Regal. It was hard to tell but it looked a little thin. Does anyone have any info on how this might be retrofitted to our cars? I am pretty much posting this for a goof. The thing is it was under $200, so if it worked....well that would be real goofy

It only seems to be an inch and a half thick or so. With plastic tanks. Throw 20psi at it and set up a GoPro...

Thought it was too good to be true. 20psi....I need at least, 22.

The '09 turbo Cobalt SS had plastic end tanks on its intercooler and my son had no problems with 25 psi on his !! He had more problems with the rest of the charge pipes blowing off !

Some of the power stroke intercoolers had plastic tanks also and they saw much more than 25 psi with no issues. I don't know anything about the new regal intercoolers but I would bet they are not designed for high cfm flow sense they are spec'ed for a lower horsepower stock application.
