Spoke to a respected Thornton tuner today and mentioned this kit. Said he had seen four pre-production kits in QLD and was impressed. Think I'm sold.

No chance that the car can be returned to stock.Theres a reason my intercooler end tanks (and the factory end tanks) are swept forward and use the factory mounting points.Ill post some pics tomorrow of how instrusive to your car this would be.You pay for what you get.Kev Edited 21/10/09 04:51 AM by Buf-Phoon quote removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully appreciate the work that goes into your kits. I still have to view Chris's offering in a coupla weeks, as well as wait for more info on the Nizpro kit (with that crazy FAT piping!). Then I have to work out what I can afford, or more accurately, how much I am allowed to spend I certainly haven't dismissed your kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pay for what you get.KevKev is absolutely correct, thanks for pointing it out about the radiator bracket, they are very important and not to be removed. The HDi kit does not remove the radiator bracket. HDi has invested hundreds of hours carefully designing the GT2 PRO Intercooler kit using state of art technology and even down to the smallest of detail of design of the top bracket. HDi has not followed the manufacturer’s cost saving designed intercooler, we would rather offer more innovative and technologically driven design. This is why HDi GT2 PRO intercooler kit is unique, innovative and with exceptional performance in weight saving, throttle response, minimal lag, acceleration and maximised power with its high cooling efficiency. And sooner or later like all top intercooler manufacturing companies the idea of our design may become the idea which everyone follows. It is our goal to motivate your automotive sensors with improved performance and to captivate the motor sport enthusiast. This is our reward, your satisfaction.Like Kev said be careful of what you are buying and make sure you get the leading best.

Maitland Posted 21/10/09 07:30 AM Share Posted 21/10/09 07:30 AM A shootout would be choice for people like me who need to know what they are getting before they shell out. If you can really see the extra money you are happy to save some more money and get the best product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
