I'm selling my Code3 Performance intercooler (similar to the Dinan one) as I thought I needed a slightly bigger one for my upgraded turbos.

This one is also very efficient and will significantly lower your IATs. It's a quality product, has been on my car for around 2 years and is in excellent condition. It will come with all hardware needed for the install (see photos below); the plastic under the front bumper will have to be slightly trimmed to accomodate this intercooler.

It's a great combination. Although in hindsight I don't know if the Helix IC was really necessary, as the high IATs I noticed at one point were due to an installation error in the FMIC tubing when the turbos were installed.

The RBs are great. Only problem is that my (new) clutch is slipping...

Installation error when the upgraded turbos were installed. One of the intake tubes was not properly connected, so that the turbos were sucking hot air out of the engine bay instead of through the intake.
