Intercoolerssss

[Wilson13B]

Does anyone at here use those cheap 200-500 bucks taiwan or china made intercoolers before ?

I seen alot of china or taiwan makes using Apexi Delta Fins design out there with dirt cheap price tags , does these intercooler effecient enough to do heat transfer instead of just being a interfooler that had straight pipe in the cores and flowing hot air directly from the turbo/supercharger into the intake ?

Not worth the risk if you ask me.
Good things usually don't come in cheap and cheap things don't usually last.

i used a china made gtr size, no matter hot inlet nor cold inlet still burn ur bare hand,
changed to trust evo size (smaller than gtr size) i can tell u its totally different,
no matter inlet or outlet u can feel the intercooler is working so well..
And my mech told me that ARC even better.. (ofcoz not ARC China..)

i used to have ori TRUST intercooler, had it almost 8 months, cannot sell cos those made in china/taiwans are so
affordable but they dont know that their turbines take longer time to cool down, i had to educate the buyer till he agreed with me
& finally bought my intercooler

You can tell them that the fake/imitation products can't complete with the original product even if the original one is used.

These companies must be really hating those imitation manufacturers. I wonder if they can take any legal actions against the imitation manufacturers since the imitation products are affecting their sales.

I was in different industry but also affected by imitation and parallel imports. Difficult to stop them, unless they are locally manufactured and knows where they are, can report for a raid....
