Well, for about $340 landed, the price is right...

Do you know it will fit?

Have you had any experience with these or seen them fitted to Polo of Mk4, etc?

If its well made, it can't be any worse than the stock SMIC...

It certainly looks the part

Nearly worth a try at the price - figuring out how to hook the thing up will be the issue - but you could spend $800 and still be ahead

What about this one

At current exchange rates it's $694.00 + freight but it comes with all pipes etc for fitting. Looks pretty good too.

Dont cut corners. Get the forge or APR intercooler.

Testing and research is gott abe worth something. make sit more effective.

So with all this testing... Why does the forge one have alot more pressure drop then the APR one?

Or am i just reading stuff wrong?

apparently tyrolsport/eurojet/bf > allard/ forge for end tank design?

these are the FMIC cores that sharkie used to have i think, they look exactly the same.

personally i think going forge/apr is cutting corners, a well built core with decent custom piping would be much better than the forge or apr units and cheaper too.
