Hi, has anyone off here bought the carb lobster thing and the double capacity intercoolers off ebay that are listed as coming from china?

and the intercooler

Just wondered if they were any good or should i save my pennies? if so any recommendations? didnt really fancy cutting my front bumper for a front mount and wasnt sure if the lobster was a worthwhile mod to do??

cheers for any help/advice:)

The china alloy lobster elbows are ok, it will most likely need a little bit of filing to fit though.
