eBay.co.uk: Medium Intercooler, Inlet & Outlet on Same Side (item 320075589108 end time 01-Feb-07 05:43:14 GMT)

i have been looking at this,as i cannot justify the cost of a "proper" one.

bit of a gamble that it would work, or cause issues.but then whack it back on ebay if its rubbish and take the loss on the chin.

edit:i think these are what sholud be taken into account.but i am unsure the technical side of it,and also that the pipework would be a factor too.

Sounds like your requesting a group buy from Forge, for Forge to offer very good prices, on not only Octavia vRS's.. But Leon Cupra R's also. Is this what you meant?

unfortunately not mate.

although i love forge and all they do,the intercooler is just not cost effective FOR ME,i cannot afford one,so i am trying to get a cheaper alternative,also the jabba/apr/blah blah blah ones are too much for my pocket.for what it does.

for 120 quid and some silicon hoses(another hundred ?!?!) if i could get that working i'd be happy.

sorry to hijack the thread dude,i hope you get what you need:thumbup:

Happy to look at another GB .need yto know who is seriously interested.

Regarding the "other " intercoolers on the market .It really would be unprofessional to comment as I really do not know much about them , I can only say bothe companies mentioned are well respected and have expertise in their markets .

I can tell you about Forge .... quite simply the intercoolere works 100% all the time , value for money and good after service is what we are about .

Quite simply if you buy one pay for it .....if your happy great if your not ...full refund and we will remove and refit for your OEM for free..cant say fairer than that ....

how abouts just listing the forge spec compared to the one above. compare like for like and all that.

how about i just buy one and give it a whirl

damn impulse buying after a few ciders

if you are thinking of buying one off e-bay then the following maybe a bit of food for thought.too late for me,mines on its way. you live and learn.

If the guys on Cupra net need a good price on intercoolers just PM me and you will be looked after ..... Whilst there are some good products on e bay ( and I know you are going to say " well he would say that wouldnt he " )

Be very carefull of what you buy , from what I can see this is a generic Chinese core, the internal core design has no air turbulaters ( this is spiral internal fin design ) that allows the air to be moved and cooled efficiently , all the ebay cores that we have seen here are basically staight through square shapped boxes , offer no cooling what so ever , the fact its vacuum brazed counts for nothing if the air shoots straight through , during long testing proceedures , with cores of this type , we actually saw inlet temps increase over the stock factory side mounted inteecooler . and pressure drop of 5 psi + , when we developed the Forge FMICs we tested over 5 types of air core before settling on the design we now use ..

Its really up to you , the choice of a researched , tested , guaranteed for life product , or ..................................... ,

I would even suggest that the Laguna mod would be a better option than this type of intercooler . just my thoughts
