I was in the same situation my mpg had dropped right off and down on power, after reading condors thread I took the plunge.
Mine is on 181000 miles and was on the original intercooler but was completely blown not on the bottom but on both sides top to bottom, oil all down it, you would have not seen it unless it was off the car so even with the bash guard off it would have been very difficult to see it.
But the difference it has made is massive, it pulls so much better all through the Rev range. The fuel economy has gone back up don’t get me wrong it’s not brilliant anyway but doing a lot better than it was.
It was doing approx 125-150 on half a tank that was a mixture of around town and abit of motorway, I have been using it and have just done 200 miles to half a tank which is a massive improvement the average on the computer is going up and have filled it and worked it out to 34mpg which I’m happy with.
Hope it helps abit for you.
Daniel
