Thread: Intercooler upgrade?

Have a look at Paddockspares:

Performance Intercooler Discovery TD5 Manual

These are made by Serck Motorsport, who were (and possibly still are) making the Td5 Alive intercoolers. At $430AU plus shipping (guestimating $500 all up) I reckon you'd have to have rocks in your head to buy a second hand D2a intercooler for $440.

cheers

Thanks Paul ... yep just sent Paddock an email for costs. I figured $440 was a bit rich.

They go for $200-250 on ebay when they show up there. $250 is top dollar. Some have suggested they are only worth paying $100 for, but there is a demand for them which drives up the price.

This is the Serck product page for the manual intercooler:

High Performance Cooling by Serck Motorsport

The list price is £430+vat. I'm always surprised at how cheap Paddocks manage to sell stuff - they must have paper thin margins on some items. That said Td5 Alive had the Auto intercooler on sale before xmas for the same price as Paddock is selling the Serck intercoolers, so there is clearly a fairly substantial markup on them.

There is this note on the Td5 Alive site for the Td5 manual intercooler:

Suitable for all models with or without air conditioning. Please note that some non european models have a transmission oil cooler mounted beneath the intercooler. If yours has this, then please select the Automatic Transmission version.

You might want to double check with Paddock on fitment before placing an order.

Thanks Yorkie!

Did that price include installation and did it have the desired effect on the cooling?

Craig

i had some other stuff done from memory, was few years ago.
give them a call, cant harm.

not sure what effect it had on cooling, have only had egt monitor for about a month.

I paid $100 for my D2a intercooler, bought off eBay. As Paul says, anything more than that is robbery in my opinion as well. I will be selling mine in the near future so keep an eye out in the markets.
