Stumbled across this intercooler on scoobyworld
http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog...oducts_id=1752
I think my V7 STI intercooler is leaking boost, so i'm looking for a replacement, seeing as my previous purchase seems to be crap, i want something new without crippling my wallet.
What do you guys think??

I'm not sure but these TMIC are very similar to Japspeed for lower price at Japspeed or Madmotors

Matt, I've also considered getting a non genuine I/C like the one you mention for my Hawk WRX prior to having it mapped. I've also looked at the second hand STI ones which have either been in my humble opinion, somewhat overpriced or look like sh!te and wouldn't look out of place on a scrap heap, in fact they'd lower the tone. As I'm only going to be running max 320 GG's I don't want to fit a front mount so have been looking at the STI I/C and scoop under-tray. The ones in the first reply to your thread are as far as I know available with all the pipework, albeit I have to extend the lower pipe for my car as they are a straight fit for the STI. I'm surprised that no one has tried one of these after-market versions as one can soon make a stencil and spray the STI logo on with quick squirt of heatproof paint. I'm pretty tempted as I'm convinced that the airflow through these intercoolers would be an improvement on my WRX one and ought to be at least as good as the standard STI one. So basically I'm watching with interest lol.

Standard WRX intercooler on a Hawk will be fine for 320 bhp

What power are you going for? I would still change to the sti keep the engine temps down
The car is around the 300 mark at the moment, but due a map, once I've replaced the fuel pump and the last few bits under the bonnet.
cheers
