E-bay Intercooler.....who's got one?

Anyone have any experience with these?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/02-06...75276453QQrdZ1

I have heard of a few i-clubbers running the e-bay specials, but want to see what they think of them, and if anyone has bought this particular kit.

TIA (you're all awesome)
I-Club FTW

That is an XSpower/ssautochrome TMIC. That guy is selling it for more though. It takes a little work to get it i, but works pretty well.

By works pretty well.. do you mean, because its a bigger TMIC it flows better thus power gains? or??

You should be happy, imo the STi intercooler is a waste of money.

Buy a big one that is actually an upgrade. The ebay/ssautochrome ones have had good press lately. I would buy one of those in a hearbeat over the STi one. If I didnt have my TurboXS TMIC, I would consider the ebay ones.

Hell, if for some reason you dont like it, you could turn around and sell it in a day, they're really really popular right now.
