The intercooler is mediocre but the pipe is a pipe.

The intercooler is not very efficient. Barely able to handle a few pounds per square inch before heating up like crazy. Also, the pressure drop across this intercooler is insanely bad. The piping is decent though, as it's just piping, but many of these have had to be deburred before use. T-clamps were bad. Many of them break when little or no torque is applied when tightening.

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • The presence of an upgrade

Cheap do-it-yourself intercooler kit

I'll start by saying that I bought this complete kit and was expecting a cheap kit. That's exactly what I got. Silicone plugs in particular are too short, unusable and can be attached at both ends. I ordered this blacked out kit for some reason, it came and the intercooler was plain aluminum and the piping was black. Not a big deal but not what I ordered. Contacted the seller and offered to return the money but was unable to replace it due to lack of stock. All that was said was that it was…

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…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Functionality
