Unfortunately there is no real way to tell from the photos as they could have been taken off a legitimate HDI product. However I purchased a genuine HDI GT2 intercooler only just today and all of the photos in the ebay advert look the same as the products in my box. However I have seen the same stock photos on the ebay advert on a few other internet sites whilst researching FMICs.

The cost of the ebay unit is £368 plus whatever customs charges there are - if they are applied. Is it worth the risk? Well that's your call bud.

Good luck

No mate - the Scoob is in garage for the last 2 weeks adn will be ready on Tuesday so I have had the misfortune of driving around in a shocking blue Ford Ka - horrific car! I live in Ponteland and work beside Gosforth Park Hotel, so drive around those areas quite often.

No probs bud - I work just before the Sage building on the Great Park, but moving to Newburn in April. I'm always up and down Great North Road to Asda at lunch or down Killingworth. Are you a member of any of the local forums TTS or NESF?
