Toxic Beast Member 514 Member For: 18y 4m 10d Gender: Male Posted 08/07/07 04:54 PM Share Posted 08/07/07 04:54 PM I've noticed there are a few very nice looking stage 2 coolers on ebay that sell for a really great price. but is there anyone on here that has had 1st hand experience with these brands?I have no mods to my car apart from a better breathing c.a.I and was intending to get a stage 2 cooler and hook it up with one of those process west or APS adaptor ic pipes. Theres obviously a huge price difference in brands like this and a plazmaman one.http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NEW-FMIC-TURBO-INTE...oQQcmdZViewItemhttp://cgi.ebay.com.au/UNIVERSAL-FMIC-TURB...oQQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxic Beast Member 514 Member For: 18y 4m 10d Gender: Male Posted 09/07/07 12:59 AM Author Share Posted 09/07/07 12:59 AM Ok.. I wasn't after huge power as yet. wasn't wanting to change my injectors as my cars only a few months old. I just thought it would be ideal to get a stage 2 cooler first off and save money and time. instead of going through a stage 1 cooler, then a stage 2 cooler and having to get rid of the other cooler etc etc..but anyhow . I was more so interested to see if these ebay coolers are cheap because they are cheaply made. or are a bargain. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest you do some reaserch into what you want before you buy anything.tube and fin/ bar and plate/cheap cast chinese/quality australian made/ flow vs pressure drop.there is heaps in it.

Save your dollars and get a stage 2 kit from plazman or Process west. you wont regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
