Re: WTB: ATR upper intercooler
Okay...an update. This isn't dead, but it's circling the drain. John spoke with his supplier (who happens to be the only guy that can still make these....he has a set of molds) and the price on cores has tripled since he last did a run of these. Long story short - $1500 each and the core supplier wants a minimum order of 40 or more.
So, John asked him about another source...potentially Chinese. The supplier has no desire to use the Chinese cores since he must wait to pressure test them once they are assembled....at which time, you have a pile of junk that is unusable if it does leak. But it's not all bad. The supplier is looking into an alternate source and a few other options and is gonna get back with John soon. So, don't give up hope yet, but there's no need to break out the wallets just yet.
To be continued....
