Twintercooler for £311 what do you think?
« on: July 01, 2010, 09:32:18 pm »
Hi all, have seen this on ebay, looks like a twintercooler but only for £311 incl shipping, what do you think, go for it or leave well alone??

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180527713281&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123

Anyone any experience with this product?

I have had a few chinese intercoolers in to fit, but quality wise they are not great. They look ok from the outside in most cases but shine a torch into the core from the outlet pipes and check the internal build quality  :sick:

You get what you pay for - the design of these is inferior to the Forge product.
