Just wondered what everyone thought about this intercooler? will be running a 2ltr turbo from it

bargin, thats similair to mine, except mine was sold as a uprated evo 9 one but of the same size. And same make I think, people will tell you need a 6 million pound blitz one or the likes but they do the job well enough, well mine has anyway.

Just to warn you, it will be big lol

Are we talking eat a nova front end big? does this increase performance? would you recommend one then?

Be very very very wary of XS stuff. Celica boys have had lots of issues with their items.

Like what mate whats wrong with them? rather know now, what other ones could you suggest?

[Jack]

Not sure for your application as tbh for those sorts of gubbins (coolers, turbos, exhausts) I'm only really up on japanese part suppliers.

XS have a reputation for ill-fitting and badly fabricated parts.

Pete you might be better off trying a Frontera one for now, or getting hold of a Cosworth or Saab intercooler, Im no expert but Phil has a large intercooler because he runs really high boost levels? And if your using the standard turbo from your engine, you might see a boost drop? :confused:

[P Whack]

Standard turbo? as if lol it aint gonna have a standard turbo far from it, so should be alright what bbhp is yours puttin out phil?

standard evo one looks good and does the job nicely, can get them fairly cheaply too:

^^ thta what I wanted originally but the one I ended up gettnig was much bigger than expected;.

Also I have a lot of XS stuff on my car an they are the only things on the car that dont break lol. Yes they arent the best an are cheap but it doesnt really matter if the fitting kit supplied fits right or not as it will have to custom mounted the car. If your any good with spanners its not difficult make things fit right, for example pattern wings dont fit very well at all but if you spend some time you can get them to fit right, but thats the joy of having no money and making the best of what you have.

its is xs power turbos and manifolds that are dodgy but ive never heard anything bad about the intercoolers, quite the oposite in fact

paul is that an evo 6 intercooler?? hope so cos thats what mine will look like then lol
