I'd take a guess at cost rather than bhp, But if it is bhp surely it depends on how much boost you are running and also if you want a banana shaped one....
Yes im sorry guys price lol ive looked up a few and seem ppl say the hybrid is no good idealy id like aps or perrin but a little expensive I think plus I can get pipes powdercoated easy enough
I looked at japspeed but there's no overflower expansion tank and also see someone said the cores are crap didnt realise there would be a problem just want a decent kit for the sti
the hdi was tested and recommended by harvey (rip) thats good enough for me.
agreed perrin etc are probably better though but are twice the price
Well , we all know how it works in the market specially when a trader has to sell their product. HDI , Japspeed and now even Aztec re branded one are probably good enough for all of us but , it's all about the efficiency not only about handling the power . It puts a smile on my face when people quote , im running 450 bhp and it works well for us, but i reckon you'd achieve better results with a higher spec cooler. APS second hand can be handed for 500 quid these days . Fits perfect too , less hassle and dosnt look like halfrauds Christmas prezie...
At the end of the day this is just my opinion.. But backed up files of a test comparing the cheap and a bit more expensive kit would be interesting to see.
It's like with everything , Rotas , cheap exhausts , cheap coilovers , coolers, gauges etc etc..... For me a genuine second hand item is worth more then a spanking new copy .
Ah im in 2 minds now stuck on hdi and japseed this is a tough one id love aps or even perrin found one company and the perrin was 790 for intercooler pipes and 760 for the intercooler I was like jesus
it was tested by harvey with results to show its efficiency. not peddled by a seller untested.
he did post the test on here somewhere i believe.
so what your saying is mantazini you pay for the name regardless of whether its any good??
No !!! when you mod your car , you do your home work properly right? So when you choose something to buy you do a research about it so you can see if it suits you and how it will more be beneficial then the "other" one. Japanese stuff have been engineered , tested by themselves and a lot of people round the world ... It's just a bit more convincing for me not because the price , but because of the roots where and how it was made. Lets say BC coilovers , i know their good and do the job just as good. But i just doubt they would last just as good for a longer period like the higher end stuff cause of the materilas use etc etc.....
Like i said i's your choice how you mod your car , but i chose it this way ...

Yer see what your saying mate just asking for peoples opinions what they would have and if a cheqp end one will be as good as a high end one I had hks on my mitsi and have to say massive pile of crap what ever I go for want the pipes doing in wrinkle red and black intercooler

Fair enough , whatever is good for you bud, like i said ... We all chose whatever is good for us personally and whats good for me not necessary might be good for you ... Like with everything else in life
