I bought a newage sti tmic and cant see much difference in size at all from my standard uk 2000 plate intercooler?
Thought it would be a bit wider and deeper.
Will put a pic up after i finished work.
Are they similar size then?

I would have thought that the STi one would be wider and deeper? - but not by a huge amount. Have you measured?

Thet are quite a bit wide, from left to right. not really any bigger front to back and slightly deeper. sure its a newage sti and not a standard newage intercooler. they are slightly bigger.

lofty35

Just measured it, same size left to right.
Width and depth seem the same.
Is the newage standard and classic turbo 2000 intercoolers about same size?
Im thinking its just standard newage with sti sticker and sti sprayed onto the fins?
Sick of getting ripped off with this fooking car think i might get rid.

Hawkeye D

No, hang on......put some pics up mate.

Will put some pics up tonight as im at work and need to upload onto photobucket.

What other stuff do you feel you have been ripped off on?

The car itself was supposed to be 300 bhp with dyno prints found out that the engine had been changed and was running 215 bhp.
So that pissed me off, and am now in the middle of modding it upto 300 plus, but now im thinking just swap for something else as i keep getting ripped of and wasting my money.
I know some guy that wants to swap for a cupra r turbo might go for that.

I have been ripped off, buying a alloy facelift and I turned out to be steel. Brought online so didnt get a chance to look at it first. Brought some alloys and they turned up scabby, again online. Was a 5hour drive and this was a business so I thought they would be fairly honest. Also brought an exhaust that needed some work and a cat that didn't fit.
Have learned that you can't trust anyone, working all day means i have to miss most of the good deals.

Think it might b off a p1 does this sound right?
If so will it fit straight on and will it b ok to put a vf35 on?

I will measure both of them on mine when I get home mate,couple of hours if that helps.

The Newage STI intercooler is about 50% bigger than the uk turbo, The classic STI is the same size as the uk turbo but is silver instead of black, has an extra row of fins and an alloy y pipe instead of plastic one

You have bought a standard intercooler from a P1 by the sound of it. Is exactly the same as you have but in silver. Contact ebay and paypal and send back and get refund. As item not as described.

lofty35

thought classic sti tmic was only on jap spec?
ade sti - u still got your newagge sti intercooler for sale, should of bought ures in the first place, think i may have been ripped off yet again.

iTrader: (2)

Yes i do. and am not a rip off merchant like many on ebay mate. if he describes it as off a bug sti then am sure you will get money back. how far away from you is seller. have you contacted them?

lofty35

heres my sti intercooler can someone tell me what its off?
think its off a classic sti import / type r or p1 maybe?

lofty35

anybody ?

That sti sticker is on the crappy cover thats been added, not the cooler itself. Dont know what thats from. Its not a new age sti though

lofty35

it might be off a sti import v5 or v6 as i googled some engine bays and they had this intercooler on them.

Maz

Looks like a classic STI one. Red Y pipe would suggest so too. Definitely not off a Bug STI, that's for sure.

lofty35

thats what i thought, was expecting a newage sti but this will do is it ok for 320 bhp?

Maz

iTrader: (34)

Yes, this will be okay for 320bhp. It would be easier to go for a FMIC rather than fitting a newage STI one. It may well work out cheaper too.

lofty35

cheers but will put this on,
