If they are quoting you 2k for a hybrid install they are making lots of cream on that pie. But hey, we are supposed to support them. You can get a hybred intercooler for around 800 and pay someone around 600 to install it. I believe the hybrid is as good a core as the hks or trust units, however i wouldnt say they are better. If you can get a trust kit for 1300 id say that would be the way to go.
By the way i saw a hybrid install done by a company we are not allowed to mention on here because how much they suck, at lets just say this install include a very very very very tight 180 degree bend, and 3 bars of the cooler blocked by the return pipe, i almost choked on my donar kebab.
This is also a reason the kit would be better, the tanks are designed for rb passover pipe, im yet to see a hybrid installed well on a rb engine with standard crossover pipe.
Man that intercooler install was crap, but everyone thinks this place is good cause they have a 9 second rotor, oh wow!
