05subileggygt Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I was wondering if anyone has this intercooler?

HydroStream6 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Looks like a solid piece. I'd like some feedback as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasejase Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Looks like a perrin/avo knock off. Just like the IPR, etc. Some people have great luck with the knock offs, however, you can likely find a used Perrin or AVO that's in great shape for the same cost. Also, these smaller companies have much 'looser' quality control in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at it, and while it looks beefy and solid, you can bet there's little to no real engineering put into it -- it's a core, welded with end tanks measured to fit. For the $400 that one is, you might as well just wait and pony up the other $250 for something name-brand that was engineered, designed, and built to spec for our cars.

jasejase Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 a couple of those welds look a bit 'average' as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chato Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 yeah, if its like the FMS/IPR prepare for some irregular fit, clutch master rubbing, helicoiling, flakey paint and a hassle every time you take it off. If you're down with that, I'd just wait for a used one of those which sell in $200-250 range and has probably already been helicoiled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
