    I got a set of them from ebay also

    quite easy to fit, a hoist makes it 1000000000 times easier.

    the right-hand pipe with the sensor flange didn't fit the sensor for me. the thread is wrong for the factory bolts. so buy some beforehand that fit in the holes.

      great - thx for the heads-up re: bolts. I have a terrible habit of blundering in half-arsed & then running around like an idiot trying to get things right with the car in a million pieces.

            I'm sure they are great -as are many other ICs but for $1600 compared to what I'm spending it's like comparing apples & truffles.

                  Good stuff. I thought it was going to be rubbish, but its actually quite good, fits well and works well. Has given me no troubles at all. It's certainly better quality than APR advertise in their APR vs fake intercooler thread......they must have searched long and hard to find that crappy one they used in those photos. The castings are clean, tidy and the quality of the fittings is a whole lot better.

                      If you look at my post earlier in this thread you will see a link to a thread i made on another forum. It has links to the places where you can buy these THS copy intercoolers. You can even see on the end tanks where the embossed logo has been removed from the mould.

                              1st ive heard of this. I had no issues with mine. Might be an urban myth.
