I think anyone paying to add a big intercooler, and they are not cheap, is going to use the extra performance and therefore its hard to compare fuel figures. maybe someone will have done it but I know I didn't.

On my 200TDi I had a over size inter cooler which fitted the same as a standard inter cooler but a lot thicker and more open core ,I think we had to open or cut out a small part of the bottom of the rad support cage ,stainless steel exhaust ,pump wound up to a point where there would be a tail of grey smoke under hard acceleration not black smoke and K&N air filter.Much more fun to drive ,pick up from standing start was more or less instant which made steep climbs a lot easier.



I don't think fuel performance really changed as the engine worked less on the road was a lot smoother less gear changes etc.

So following the same thread as OP's post, has anyone done a comparison between the Allisport double core and the ebay equivalent?

I have no doubt that the Aliisport is better designed and probably higher quality, but is it really worth three times more?


The Ebay intercooler looks like it was welded by an 8 year old.... Rolling with laughter it's a Landrover thing...
