Cheap seat intercoolers with brackets

Looks good!

How did you mount the MAP sensor in the upper intake pipe?

im just waiting for the sensor flange in the mail shouldnt have a problem getting it to fit in the small upper pipe

map sensor in so all up this setup cost roughly $550. Pretty straight forward just needed to cut pipes to length and cut parts of the bumper to fit. For a cheap cooler its really good quality. Only thing that annoyed me was bracket for the passenger side is 15mm taller than it needed to be and made the cooler ****y and didnt line up in the bumper but i made a new bracket and worked out all good.

After having it on for a month or so, how are you finding this? I'm extremely tempted to pull the old ebay trigger on one... gotta give myself a decent Christmas present!


does it make a positive difference to regular driving? is there a lot of increased lag or is it more or less the same as before?

really keen to hear your feedback

its great for a cheap setup. only thing i dont like is the rubber joiners ill be replacing them with silicon ones soon enough.

decreased engine bay temps, pulls alot harder and smoother mid/ top end. i am seeing no difference with lag compared to stock.

i think its $$$ well spent and a hell of alot cheaper than other setups.

Sweet! That's enough for me then.. Gonna go hit the buy button now. Hopefully get it over the break

Just put decent silicone piping and hose clamps on. I bought an aeroflow pipe, very good quality. I think most of the others I have are Samco.

Dispatched already with a tracking number, so can't beat that. ☺

The way I figure it's just cheap enough that im happy to take a punt.. And because it's seat sport style any hose kit I get will be compatible with another core if I decide to upgrade later

But based off the review here im confident it'll do trick just fine. It's gotta be better than the little side mount.
