Thread: intercooler upgrades?

Thanks for this thread guys. I was going to buy an alli sport intercooler altho having seen this I just called Paddok and ordered a serck Intercooler. He said he doesnt sell many of them, and has had no feedback on them, I asked him if it is the same size as the alli sport intercooler and he said the frame is basically the same but the core is a bit thicker on the alli sport, I am happy to pay $350 less and have the serck. Will post up my findings when I recieve it in a week or two. I also asked him if it is the exact same as the td5 alive intercoolers and he said they were.

I Have the Alisport on also, pain to get in as I could not get the studs out the front bar above the grill, seen recent posts on how do do it better since.

I also had to grind a corner of one of the mounting brackets it was too close to a pipe and made me nervous, no biggy though.

I see Alive are doing 2 piece decats now, so if you are happy to cut the old one out you don't need to drop the prop and cross member to get it in, their decat also has a bracket on it now to bolt the heat shield to, the one I bought of them a while ago didn't and had to make up a crappy bracket, I removed my decat for the final end of warranty inspection and have not put it back in yet as the heat shield bracket I made up got lost in my shed.

I agree the wrap for the exhaust is a must, I noticed a huge difference going back to the standard pipe, could be the wrap or the fact there is a red hot cat on it also, but I will go with the wrap doing its job, the heat coming in from the handbrake has come back since.
