eBay intercooler?

[shultsy12]

I know there's likely to be mixed opinions on these, there's a company on eBay called direnza selling intercoolers has anyone bought one or heard anything on them? Ive googled the company and they seem to be well known across Europe with some good reviews?

I know people have bought eBay intercooler before and they have been proven to lower intake temperature
But you will have no idea on its internal construction if it will cause to much pressure
Also people who have run intercooler on some cases cheap intercoolers are known to blown the fins out at high boost which has can cause serious damage

thats a fair answer, is there anyone using one of these on this forum?
they offer a 2 year warrenty?
before my ed30 i had an astra vxr i used a ebay intercooler and the tuning company where impressed by the quality and how well it worked!

If they will pay for damage to your engine if the fins fail
Then go ahead
You want it iN writing though

I bought one but never fitted it due to buying water meth. I was really impressed with the build quality and would have fitted it if it weren't for the WMI.
A few pics I took before selling it.

At that price I would of thought nothing went into it design and test
I had one on my r26 Megane without realising until my forge unit come
And although they were identical in size shape etc. 
The performance difference was a massive difference even from low down
All my friends thought I had my r26 mapped
