You tell me? How bad do you like video games? Do you like to drive fast?

no. those intercoolers are only worth 50 bucks or so, and a turbo like that you can get for around a hundred bucks

Since I'm an NA man I don't knwo too much about turbos. However, that intercool looks like garbage (seriously) and that turbo doesn't look all too fancy. I'd look for a better deal.

I think this thread is a common consensus, that stuff is garbage. Stick with your PSP.

enough people have told you its a bad deal.... what more do you want. That intercooler is no better then a dsm sidemount... which used to be 25 bucks or so. Any turbo will fit a D but you'd have fun fitting it with that wierd turbo charge piping...

if you're looking to put together a cheap setup... get a JohnnyRaceCar or CustomCoach intercooler. and you can either go w/ a junkyard turbo (14b, t25, t3) or buy a used t3/t4 on ebay or h-t classifieds.

...and you're getting ripped off w/ that deal. dont do it.
