interested in 2. Not at $1200 each though. But would look to TD5 Alive at $880 Landed in OZ with a boost box.

cheers

That td5 alive deal looks pretty good, but like Andy said ASC is local back up. LR series sells ungraded intercoolers for 380pounds I think, which is pretty good as well.

I have the ASE intercooler, I believe they use a PWR core, the TRS intercooler is the same product.

It will drop your EGTs by about 50 to 100 deg and allow you to increase your boost and with the addition of silicon hoses will make it more responsive off the mark, big help if towing and you have a manual, which I have.

I fitted mine myself, it's much easier if you remover the fan, this allows you to tilt the radiator back.

Rovacraft sell one as well.

I got mine from TD5 Alive in the UK. The price was much better. But I understand about buying local because I bought extened wheel arches from another company in the UK and they sent me D1 arches. The cost of shipping back to the UK and getting them replaced is just stupid.

But what I have got done is Bigger intercooler, silicone hoses, EGR removed, re-map and S/S exhaust. Its like driving a new car. I think its just as quick as my mates D3 and the L/100kms is better than before.

Thats my tuppence worth.

At 4 units I doubt they are willing to do a deal.
I will be in touch with ASE tommorow,happy to pay the $$$ for a Aussie company having a go.

Ive ordered an ASE intercooler today.
Due to the low levels of interest in a group buy I didnt try for a discount.$1200 delivered.

Andy, how much difference is there between the D2a updated CAC and these performance wise??

Its not on my list of things at present and i have to be content with a flush and a Provent as I'm saving the coin for a Tombiesaurus and Nanocom Evo (if it ever comes out and is priced....

) then the suspension, but it depends on how much of a gain its going to give me.
The D2a unit aparently is quite a big improvement over the original TD5 unit so the other bits are looking better.

The decats going on tomorrow and i might see if I can squeeze in a straight thru pipe next week.

Cheers

I don't know about the ASE units, but the good thing about the Td5 Alive units (apart from the good price) is that their finning comes in fine (road use, presumably more efficient cooling) and thick (offroad use, presumably so mud can be sprayed out without bending fins) versions.

If you've got a manual, the Td5Alive intercooler is huge at 4x original capacity.

With a mildish (TRS) non-flashable chip upgrade already in place, would you need to upgrade the ECU further if fitting an aftermarket intercooler - or can you just fit the IC and a boost box and everything else will adjust automatically via sensors?
