Running one for nearly 2 years, no problems so far, easy(ish) to fit with a little bit of tweaking, but heh, thats part of the fun!

Although it's the easiest to fit, it is generally considered to be the least efficient but obviously better than the best TMIC.

I ran one for a couple of years. It was a definite improvement over standard TMIC. I believe that some people have had problems with water temperatures, but I didn't have any such problems on mine. I didn't have aircon condensor rad in between the I/C and the rad though. I ran mine with a reversed manifold for a period of time, that reduced the pipework distances somewhat.

I've run one for about two years never had a problem with water temps, but the air con soon gets hot if you stop in traffic, fine if you keep moving though!
