Review on SUNROAD Universal Intercooler Coupler Piping by Jim Diaz

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Many additional details required.

Hmm. At this point I would pay a little more just to avoid all the extra parts, welding and cutting it took me to get this to work for my mk4 TDI. Here's what I noticed: 1. The TIG welds that hold the aluminum heatsink together are "normal" and about what I could do myself as a novice welder. It passed my blood pressure test. A few of the fins inside were bent and I fixed them.2. The included 2.5" silicone tubing is in many cases too short to make a proper connection. She was torn to pieces several times. I had to buy and cut a straight piece to connect sections that didn't fit perfectly. The clips that come with it are absolute rubbish! They are attached with 3 spot welds. All other clamps I've seen are 4! Needless to say I broke a couple trying to tighten them. I also had to fold them in half. Also, I needed larger clamps to work with the internal cooler inlet/outlet, the maximum diameter of these clamps made installation almost impossible because you couldn't fit them over the silicone tubing on the internal cooler. I used soap and it slipped off and etc. Overall I can't say I recommend this little guy.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Functionality
