RMD Intercooler?

[Steevo]

I have the intercooler (below) that came with the car when i bought it, does anyone know if this is junk (i.e cheaply 'made in china' ebay tat) or worth using? It looks fairly solid, but i'm curious.............. Thanks

bar and plate, it's probably half decent

Thanks what sort of boost pressure should this be capable of running before i'd need to look at a front mount option?

you should be able to run around 14psi with that.You may getaway with a standard carb on that boost but it would pay to have a fueling run on some rollers or get your self a wideband afr gauge to be sure of the fueling.

Cheers Adam, it'll have to go eventually then if i want the kind of power i experienced sat in yours the other week I'm surprised though because my standard strapped ic took 1bar without issues.

That will take loads of boost pressure but what I think what Adam means is that it will cool well enough for 14pair after thy you're prob better off with a front mount.

the Pace all alloy intercooler this one shadows, was good for 2 bar of pressure..

[SCHWARTZ]

I had a pace standard capacity ic and that cooled fine at 18pair saying that.
