what are garrett intercoolers like?	Sat, 24 April 2004 12:48

Im looking at a garret intercooler atm which is 450x300x75 with bar and plate construction i beleive for 770 and rated for 500 or 600 hp? has anyone used one of these or know if they are decent at all?.. and is 770 a decent price.. I was going to go with a hybrid cooler.. but ive been warned away from them by more people than recommended them [Report message to a moderator]

troys (trd78) one is a hybrid brand intercooler perhaps he knows more about them although his car hasnt been finished yet. What about an PWR cooler they seem very good my neighbour works for them and has brought home various radiator seconds and they are excellent quality plus they are local. dunno anything about garrett ones tho but you think that a company that designs and builds turbos would make an excellent flowing cooler my 2c Daniel [Updated on: Sun, 25 April 2004 00:09] [Report message to a moderator]

johal, i reckon you should just do a blind ring-around the turbo shops in BNE with the same story: ... have a 1J turbo with factory 'cooler, want to upgrade to FMIC of this size (X x Y x Z), how much and what brand? ... then see what the forum thinks of the advice. there was a recent forum on boostcruising that asked for names of brisbane performance shops ... i'll try to find ... (edited to add link) http://www.boostcruising.com/forums/index.php?show topic=36487 plus you could also try some of the import suppliers like SUPRA_MAN on the forum here and also option1garage in BNE for prices on used/imported versions of same.

hey johal considering ARE have a bar n plate job with similar dimensions for $1139 id say the garrett is an ok buy, is it new or a cut down truck core? speak to John @ www.importbitz.com he can usually get good gear for a decent price [Updated on: Sun, 25 April 2004 06:22] [Report message to a moderator]

its a brand new performance cooler.. ive spoken to john.. he has one that im interested in.. but its further away than i can handle hehe i need one this week ive been reading alot of stuff on the hybrid coolers.. and people who actually own them say they are actually quite alright.. so im thinking of maybe just getting one of those, im sure it would still help me get the power i want? Any advice? On the rolin site http://www.japparts.com.au/Parts+Panel/Intercooler s.html Theres the Hybrid monster cooler and the Rolin monster cooler Would there be much difference between them do you think?.. they look almost identical to me bar the hybrid has a badge on top and is alot shinier? If theres no flow difference I would go the rolin one. [Report message to a moderator]

I'm with munki, I bought a PWR intercooler. Not on the car yet but its perfectly made, wasnt too bad for what it cost and they look pretty cool. Mine is a WTA one though. [Report message to a moderator]

I rang around different suppliers PWR, Garret etc, I've seen the Garrett bar and plates at the factory (I wasn't very impressed). I settled on the ARE item. Why not check out their web site? google search ARE intercoolers. [Report message to a moderator]
