    Intercooler Kits

    After having a read of some threads.

    Is there any reliable good falue intercooler kits to purchase.

    If there isn't, im based in wellington anywhere locally that can do the piping for my VR.

    Thanks to anyone who offers assistance.

    the feed back on the trade me ones have been pretty average - ask Gly!!

    if you get a shop to do the piping you will be looking at the $1200 mark

    you can pay $600 for piping plus intercooler all 100% fit though piping is only the lower one that actually connects to both sides of intercooler, but its what i purchased, and am very happy with outcome.

    As far as I know, they're not the ones Gly said to stay away from.

    I'm planning to get one from them in the coming months, so if no one else knows, we will then!

    driftsideracing had a sale on was selling kits without intercoolers for $99 on trademe, and there were a couple or so, i clicked buy now thinking it was a great buy, without clamps and joiners just the piping, finds out later that its so cheap because it is not a 100% fit and will require some mods done to it that not even the sale guy knows of. I had an email from hm 1 week after i actually asked if its a 100% fit.

    If thats true, then the advertising on their auctions is over the top:

    Hey show Whenz for the link.
    They look all good, and for $500.00 for piping now a bad deal.
    If it fits haha
    Ive jsut done some enquiries.
    If its a go, i will post up how the fit was when competed.
    Front mount should be all done by early september.

    hey there all!
    Im marcus and new to the club. been looking round for a intercooler kit too and seen you guys talking bout driftside racing. i've fitted one of there so called (guarantee fitment) intercooler kits befor to a WRX and it was far from perfect. what should of been an easy fit took 10hours and alot of modifying to internal panelwork and the front bumper also. so i hit the guy up on trademe about one of their kits for legnum. check out there reply's to me:

    http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=171909767

    it is a shame cause its one of the nicer looking kits around as its a full replacement not just the bottom half.

    great club by the way. i've just bought a 99 vr4 legnum but have had a tt gto for about 4 years now

    at least you got an honest answer to a direct question. Better than the evasive replies you usually get!
