Cheap Intercooler

I wasn’t planning on adding an intercooler to my Golf, but there’s a double discount on these at the minute. Just paid £168.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ALUMINIUM-ALLOY-FRONT-MOUNT-INTERCOOLER-FMIC-FOR-VW-GOLF-MK5-MK6-GTI-R-04-13-/392343901322?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0
I think the codes run out the 6th.

Cheap and cheerful!
Bit rough on the outlet.
Nice and “round” inlet.
Not sure whether to send it back...

That’s rough I’d be sending it back for sure

I find it impressive that they went to the trouble to fabricated the end tanks - but if they were happy to leave the opening that ragged - what else have they left internally?
Nice offer/find - but I would also send it back too

Oh dear. The end tank design is just as bad as the appalling fit and finish! The OEM intercooler would work better than that thing. Send it back!
