Happy to prove you wrong.

A fin and tube exchanger like the STi one will always be more efficient than a bar and plate. Also having the thickest core known to man kind does not make the intercooler any better. It's all to do with maximising the surface area for heat transfer.

Most top mount intercoolers do not perform any better than the STi one. If the process west one performed significantly better than the STi one, surely there would have been some results back by now.
