Definitely go for the China cooler instead of the others. Unless pushing the stock turbo or hybrid, look at peron or custom like myself and Banksy

In two minds really. Yes and no. Yes if you add the rs4 valve and meth. No if your happy to see what you can get from a hpfp.

Hmmmm...



Looks similar to the Revo one..... :)



eBay item 50678586049


Does anyone have this actual inter cooler ? Is it a significant upgrade over the oem one ?

I'm stage 1 now looking to gather all the bits for stage 2. My fiancée would buy me this for Christmas. I doubt she would spend £500 on the Revo one for me.

WeeG is/was running the stasis on his 400bhp car so it's up to the job.

what pressure drop measured across the core?

No idea to be honest. I have read the ths suffers from bad pressure drops but have no data. I believe the issue with these coolers is the tight angles in the inlets, also the s shape boost hose. Seems there are few bottle necks. Instant gains after fitting the wellycooler with better flowing pipework. Liquid gauge shows 10gs higher peak.

I haven't seen anything about the ths suffering from bad pressure drop? I'll soon find out though as I'll be buying one.

I've found this on the golfmk5 forum whilst doing some research, haven't found anything that compares the pressure drop on them though

what was on there before?

10g/s is indicative of something (if) boost is same level comparison wise
