Title: Twintercooler for £311 what do you think?
Post by: jmspear on July 01, 2010, 09:32:18 pm

Hi all, have seen this on ebay, looks like a twintercooler but only for £311 incl shipping, what do you think, go for it or leave well alone??

Anyone any experience with this product?

Chinese copy of Forge, i seem to remember a thread about these with logs done as well to compare. Cant remember the results but i personally would steer clear.  :happy2:

I have had a few chinese intercoolers in to fit, but quality wise they are not great. They look ok from the outside in most cases but shine a torch into the core from the outlet pipes and check the internal build quality  :sick:

You get what you pay for - the design of these is inferior to the Forge product.
