Decision time for a Intercooler I’ve seen the airtec for £795 with the pipes,,Dreamscience one for £885 fitted at there hq in Hull,,then I’ve seen this one for £430 complete with pipes,I’ve never heard of them before & sometimes if it’s cheap it’s usually too good to be true.

Don’t want to spend £1800 on a Intercooler,I’m not saying it’s not worth it but I have no intention of going 600bhp plus.

I would have gotten an ETS 4″ if I did not get my Mountune 5″ ($200) cheaper.

Consider the structure you want:
- Tube and fin = lighter
- Bar and plate = more solid construction
There are pros and cons between the two.

ETS is bar and plate, same as Mountune USA. Mountune UK is tube and fin.

5″ ETS will require minor cutting, Mountune does not but you cant use the wind deflector at the front

I’ve gone down the Mishimoto route. They had a deal on during August. £700 for cooler, pipes and fitting kit. Looks a quality bit of kit, just need to get it fitted now.
