Inter cooler suggestions on d5

[Plodmonkey]

Just wondering will this bigger inter cooler suit my car as I think standard one is leaking as boost is all over when accelerating all hoses are spotless

that looks tiny, it may be a more efficient intercooler but being 1/3 of the size of the original can't be good

Would it not be better to have the car smoke leak tested and properly diagnosed, rather than just spending a bucket load of money on a hunch!! (Reminds me of someone else on the forum, and it's got them nowhere!) :cuckoo:
After all, if you say the boost hoses are all spotless, then I doubt it's your IC. Probably just a vacuum leak or split vac hose. If it's not your IC then you'll be wasting your money and the car will still drive crap.

Oh yeah £50 for an IC = cheap chinese rubbish!!

if it is a 2001-2002 model without the sensor on lower pipe you can use the do88 intercooler. they are the same.
I sold one and the customer reported it felt much better after fitting. his car runs higher boost so again, the more mods the more benefit.
