I'm not really interested in getting the whole and expensive reverse piping kit and doing all that stuff, but just a slide in upgrade I might consider. So is it worth it, or should I just get another Standard one??
The standard intercooler is well up to the job unless you do a lot of track driving , I would think that cheaper intercooler has LESS cooling capacity as the standard one ... it doesn't look as tall . You do not get long enough on boost on the public road for the temperature of the boosted air to become a problem .
