Default Upgraded TMIC?

Looking into upgrading the TMIC on my gf8.
Seen quite a few eBay China spec ones,good or bad?
And the gc/gf specific autobhan88 ones(more China)
Sticking to a modest budget,not looking to spend a grand on a process west.
Cheers

To be honest a GD WRX TMIC is a good upgrade over a GF8 intercooler, they are dirt cheap and easy to find. The next step up is a GD STI TMIC, it's more expensive but a lot more efficient.

The eBay coolers generally are not worth the cost or hassle.

That's all I've got on mine but put a cheap ebay under intake manifold on at the same time, took .03 off mine at the drags.

Thanks for the input.
Was considering a GD WRX.
I can't justify the money GD STI ones fetch,it's daft.
I've read review on the chine ones on a few on the yank sites,think there would be a lot more modding to fit a gf8 though.
