that makes it £181 to your door. i'm sure i've seen second hand RS500 style IC's change hands for more than that.

Ive got the exact one and it doesnt fit. I got it cheap so i thought id give it a go. The pipe from the turbo to the cooler is welded the wrong way round. If you stand infront of the car it aims towards the right, im cutting mine, spinning it arond 180 deg and re-welding it so it aims to the left. When mine is finished im sending a diagram so they are made properly. Made in china i think.... Still not bad in my eyes for the money. Oh and it is thick enough, it looks small because its 500 style 75mm pipes. I also got the rad too and it fitted fine, even the fans bolted straight on.

To be honest mate both sides are welded wrong. The side to the throttle body is out too. The pipe is too long and not quite in line but it should probably squeeze on. The other side is absoultely miles away and ive not fixed it yet but it has to be cut off totally, spun round 90deg and re welded. Its ok if you can weld and have the equipment (like me) but otherwise its totally useless. Ill keep you posted.

No mate, their advertised as cosworth intercoolers, sierra and escort. Ive since been browsing the internet and there are pics on ebay of 2 different ones but it doesnt mention a difference. The other cooler looks like its right one.
