There are different kits that are now quite affordable. Like a $600 odd dollar kits I think I seen on his website perhaps? For skyline ect

I had a china cooler that averaged 38deg intake temps. Then I got a precision turbo intercooler that averages 8deg intake temps

The china cooler would increase by 20deg in a 20 second pull

I don't get how that is possible, it defies physics

I don't do physics I can just tell you what the gauge tells me. I assume the cooling ability of the quality cooler is far better than the eBay one

It's not possible to create intake air on the inside of an intercooler that is even as cold as the ambient air cooling the intercooler.

Anybody who claims to have seen it is needs to check their temperature measuring instrument.

Ye man it does. Might get a mate to help me out when looking for intercoolers because so many things could go wrong with second hand and I'm on a budget, so got to be careful and ensure that the FMIC I get lasts.

is the intercooler upgrade urgent? if not, maybe u can hold back abit and save up more for a better one?

most quality stuff dont come cheap...

*hands keys over reluctantly* so bluddy hard to choose the correct intercooler

LOL. It is.....so many brands

That $50 was just for a universal intercooler no piping, commented to highlight that the cheapies work fine usually. You won't usually see a power difference at low boost and power, yes they are usually more effective than stock but it's your car, if you can afford top end stuff and that's what you want then you should get it. It has been proven by many that the cheaper kits, hdi and cooling pro as mentioned, do the job. Regarding piping. You can always shop around. I had quotes from $450-$1000. I luckily found an exhaust shop run by 2 older blokes who made my piping from scratch for $290 and they spent all day on it. Total cost was $340.

You got a point there. I'll see how I go, because the worst thing I can do is buy an intercooler and then later down the track have to upgrade because its not sufficient. Did that with my first car and wasted tons of $$$

I run a HPi kit on the Soarer.

similar money to the entry level GReddy kits

absolutely no complaints and made in Japan

Very true indeed. No its not, so might as well save. Just have other things to save for as well.
