Where's all the used RS4 or AWE intercoolers?
I have APR v5 chip, Labree Downpipes, ASP Tru-dual exhaust, and a K&N drop-in. I figure my next step would be intercoolers. Anyone else agree with me? I check the classifieds and e-bay all the time but can't find them.

its a small secondary market
think about it:
people who buy upgraded intercoolers usually have a lot of money into their cars, most likely stage 3 or close to it... and when you sink that much into your car, most people dont want to sell it, as opposed to selling a stock or lightly modified S4, which is what we see all the time selling for absurdly low prices (damnit!)
My guess is that when these people do sell their cars, they sell them as a whole with the stage 3 motor upgrades, including the intercoolers, b/c its too much work and money to part out a highly modified car.
thus, there is a small secondary market of used intercoolers. They arent all that expensive, you should just get a new set if you really want them.
thats my analysis anyway.
