Looks like a nice FMIC, and cheap:D But I've never dealt with them before.

Fiddy,

I'm looking to purchase a fridge in the next few weeks also! If your scared about handing over fold to an unknown, I'll be in for a mini-group buy with you... drop me an email - [email protected] dude

1. Do an advanced search, searching by Seller's ID and includes all finished items.

2. Contact previous winning bidders on his successful auctions and ask them what their experience is, what is the quality of the product and what is the result (if they have installed it).

I did ask a couple of buyers before, they said d2power's service is good and delivery is fast. However at that time no one has installed it yet, they've just received it, so I can't get any result from the installation. Maybe one or two has done it by now. Anyway I have decided to get mine from Japan instead.... so I can't be bothered finding those buyers and asked them again.

My cooler is exactly the same. Looks good and goes good, i would have no hesitation in buying it for that price!!

Cheers Robo's, 12.98 speaks a lot for this cooler then

[noise]

ebay has the highest rate of fraud out of any website on the net.

Check out his rating first, ask for a COD

[bless_you]

God bless,

Nate

Robo, that FMIC is shipped from Hong Kong... so no you can't do COD.

[Guest Robo's]

Well he's got a feedback of 91, so i guess he is pretty genuine.

The same guy is selling just the intercooler without plumbing for $370. Given the low price I'm dubious on whether you'd get a decent quality intercooler. I was curious emailed him and you can get the plumbing only for $600 + p&h as well.

ModYourCar.com (located here in Perth) has a 600x300x76 cooler on special until end of June for the awsome price of $419 (was $550) and you can get the plumbing plus clamps/joiners custom done for about $450 (but in mild steel not ally like D2Power). Similar total price but personally I'd rather have the piece of mine of getting something local rather than from Hong Kong. My mate has just had a ModYourCar.com cooler fitted to his TT Soarer and reckons it's great!

Robo - You said your cooler is exactly the same. Did you actually get it from this guy (D2Power)?

[Guest Robo's]

No i didnt, i got it from the IntercoolerGuy who is in Sydney. He said they are out of the same factory as Hyrbid but didnt have hybrid printed on them. But im 99% these coolers are the same!!! Mine looks identical to this.

[MearCat]

So you're reckoning that Hybrid, ICG and probably these D2Power coolers are the same?

[MearCat]

And you're probably right too. Check out the reference pics on both auctions:

[Guest Robo's]

Yep, thats the one!!

[MearCat]

Mmm - I'll email some Ebay recipients of his intercooler and get their responses. Will get back to this thread in a day or so when I get some feedback on build quailty, power gains etc etc

I would like the cooler piping reversed if I get one. (ie, the cold air doesn't flow over a hot engine)

Does anyone know if the piping can be made up with mandrel bends and 3" piping ? Anyone done it? Approximate cost ?
