better then expected for 65 u.s plus shipping

came to 118.99 CAD shipped. tube and fin, welds look alright, some fins were bent but big deal. packaged nicely, etc.
now just have to see how well it works. and yes i know there have been multiple threads on these but i wanted to see for myself. and so far i can't see anything wrong cosmetically, and if it does indeed suck, its only 65 bucks right? lol

good for you :-X

Looks good. I didn't know they made a tube/fin style. Everything I've found is bar/plate, which I'm not a big fan of. Good find

I've been using an ebay intercooler for quite a while now and its been great. Once in a while i'll feel the charge pipe after driving for a while and its nice and cold so its doing its job. ;D

Its hard to ---- up an intercooler (not saying you cant) BUT, I got mine off ebay too and the temp differential between the hot side and cold side is amazing. i haver not conducted any pressure loss experiments, but it seems to work great!!! BAR and Plate though.. Rock it ;youll be fine, end tanks look alright too!!!

look nice... ;D

I also have one. I drive long distances daily, and it seems to cool the charge pipes well. I am only pushing a small amount of boost tho.

Re: ebay intercooler arrived
 

plus shipping thats money too.

ya but basically 120 CAD shipped is really cheap for a new front mount.
looks good, should perform.
i have just read mixed reviews on them and figured it was time to try it.
