Therein lies the false economy. Yes, people will say they ran theirs at XXXbhp, but how much power/performance did they lose by not running a better intercooler?
The HDi coolers run 850bhp+, have better flow and lower pressure drop. An intercoolers job is to reduce charge temps, but it should do so with the best flow and least pressure drop.
There's a lab in the UK that tests intercoolers for race teams, manufacturers etc. I would love to see a £199 cooler up against a HDi cooler. We'll foot the bill of testing the HDi cooler, will any supplier put up a £199 cooler though for thorough testing with the results published in public - doubtful.
What's the effect of the cheaper coolers with higher pressure drop vs HDi coolers with low pressure drop?

If I wouldn't run their(Japspeed) FMIC on our wagon,then I would be very doubtful about the performance of their FMIC
Same like we are tried to run bigger oversized Up pipe(similar which selling Japspeed),where we are lost around 500RPM worth of spool
We are run Japspeed FMIC like on drag strip or on track days during the hottest days and he performed better than we are expected,in traffic like with every FMIC/TMIC you will get heatsoak
At moderate power under 500bhp I would choose Japspeed FMIC,if you are going above 500bhp I would choose HDi without the doubts
As you know how many people over here will be interesting in testing, probably few and do you think if Japspeed FMIC will come last,they will stop to buying them,I'm very doubtful on this matter
Again many people over here making their upgrade on the budget and for them spend extra £400 on the FMIC is like not to have on remap/turbo etc
