Intercooler From Ebay.

[CHRISWB 3]

I'm doing a turbo conversion on my 205 an have been looking on here at what intercoolers people have been using an it seems that most people are using the cosworth one, I have been on eBay an have found some universal ones with pipes,

What are people's thoughts on these? Or am I just better off with the cosworth one?

the intercoolers are good, however the pipes and hoses are s*ite, they pop off or burst. we had them on a audi 20vt engine running standard boost and slit a hose and kept popping off the tubes.

The universal cheapo chinese ones I have seen I do not rate. They are very very heavy and I suspect probably not that great at getting rid of heat from the charge air.

I've bought a 2wd cosworth one off ebay and am presently head scratching how it can possibly fit with boost pipes connected as they are so large, it would fit behind the grill beautifully with a made up bracket and the radiator dropped but the cooler outlet is so close to the inlet manifold i don't see how it could possibly be used there
