There is a few different opinions on air to air intercoolers, and for Joe Bloggs on the road and not in the WRC their is no need to go down this route. The normal upgraded Pro Alloy charge cooler will do just fine. Also Engine Advantages do a similar item for £850

The main difference between this and the EA one is mainly that this one fits without the need to modify the turbo housing......
we talking ST cooler gains or pocket numbers

only thing that would put me off is the number of bends
even mandrel bent will disrupt the flow
wouldnt a adapter plate be made to turn the throttle elbow 180 degrees like i have done

Not so keen now - too much pipe going on!
Wanted to keep my battery where it is so can then get a strut brace.
Understand the reasons tho!! You don't have to worry about the turbo housing and attaching a plate for the actuator.
Love the look of the unit through the grill tho!!!
So many positives and just the pipe work as a negative for me . . . . . . . what to do?????????/?

i'm sure they could do better on the price!!! if it was an impreza they'd be £500 max but as we've got limited cars they bump the price up. i'd love one but can't justify a grand on it

Intercooler
Looks a great bit of kit.
Price wise, looks a bit excessive but the workmanship looks great.
I was dreaming about this cooler at donnington on national day, sales guy said better suited for cars looking for inexcess of 360bhp.
Tried his best to stick an uprated charge cooler into me.

That looks the dogs dangglies!
But its huge, almost looks like its too big to fit on!
But what's the deal with the price, thought that was kinda reasonable, seeing how it does away with the charge box, perhaps making room for a nice oil cooler radiator instead...
Top piece of kit...
