age old discussion of intercoolers!

getting to this stage of buying the engine toys so im pretty set on the griffin 76mm exhaust system, im looking to tune the pump once i got an intercooler sorted, ive found one on flee bay looks promising but im not sure if its just a gymic, or the allard one also looks like a good option, not sure why the alli sport one is so much more than allard?

You have to be extremely careful with turbos and inter coolers from Flea Bay. The Chinese turbos we have seen disintegrate which sent beautiful shiny pieces into the intake doing beautiful designs on the cylinder walls.

The same gies for intercoolers though we have seen some good ones. There was a guy there selling some decent ICs, the turbos I would keep far from.

If you get an inter cooler and as a matter of fact any, check for leaks and definitely check for loose aluminum debris in it. Shake it, send high volume air into it and you can also wash them with high pressure water too.
