Not as advertised in engine parts

Intake and exhaust mismatch 2.5. Measured and they look more like 2.65 so I have to completely redo all the elbows and tubes.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Useless features

Great compact intercooler.

Arrived without delay and well packaged. Installation after building some mounts was great. Small enough to fit in my bumper without cutting it but big enough to get the job done.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Mostly good but...

Lost two stars for sending a less than perfect intercooler

This is a good price for what it is. Mine has a dent on top and the Mishimoto logo is blurry. Not what I expected from this brand, the quality isn't up to scratch but it will work just fine.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

High quality, low pressure drop and excellent performance

I have a ko3 turbo car and this intercooler does not cause much pressure drop. This would be ideal for anything up to GT28 or something. Highly recommended, this is a VERY high quality alloy tank! Only gave 4 stars because of missing hardware to install.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Generally happy with replacement parts

I had the same issue as the other reviewer. The inlet/outlet is not suitable for 2.5 silicone couplings. I ordered adapter 2.75 -> 2.5. Hoping it will work. The stencil on mine was light and slightly blurry. Not a big problem, but I expected a little more from Mishimoto products. Apart from these two things I am very satisfied. It fit perfectly in my S13 after doing some braces.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Modern

Great but may require modification

The intercooler is fantastic. Very low pressure drop, keeps intake temperatures cool, looks good. The only thing to note is that there are very high flanges at the inlet and outlet. Maybe I got a weird one, but the stock 2.5 clutch doesn't work. I work as a metal fabricator so this wasn't a problem for me, but for someone without a belt sander with an aggressive finish it would be a definite assembly problem.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • There are downsides
