Looks like the chinese manufacture has stepped up it's game with a new billet cooler with revised tube and fin intercooler core.

Not really, just polished a turd.

Maybe but better than all the rebranded *old* ones sold for a premium nonetheless.

Just buy a new OEM one from fcp euro. It comes with a lifetime replacement warranty and costs less than $700.

All of these name brand aftermarket ones are also made in China anyway unless you buy the Billet ones from EOS/CR Racing which cost 3-4k.
