Before deciding to design our own intercooler system we looked at what was about. At one end, there were high quality intercooler kits being made in the U.S, but being sold for over $1000 and at the other end of the scale were some very poor quality kits utilising second hand intercoolers from ebay. On examining these intercooler kits we found they had rubbing issues in various parts of the pipework and the power steering belt and routed the pipework under the radiator so were prone to damage from grounding. The mounting system was also poor with excessive use of cable ties and excess rubber hose to make it fit.

Our intercooler kit has been designed to be of very high quality but at a more affordable price. We've chosen a beautifully made alloy intercooler with a core of 11" * 9" * 3" which we believe is just about the right size to allow 10 to 12psi to be run safely.

As far as pipe work goes, we've decided to make the kit to fit non-a/c cars, so that we can run the pipework around the sides of the radiator without having to have too many bends. The pipework is made from stainless steel and gives a great look as well as the benefits of metal pipework in helping to dispel some of the heat from the turbo.
