Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Silly cheap Intercooler kits?

got myself an ebay xxxx IC. Brand: J Performance.

DO NOT BUY IT!!!

The hoses are WAY 2 wide, you WILL NOT get it work. I will need 2 buy new hoses (which cost about 50GBP cause of the different sizes).

Edit: At least i got my money back, thx at paypal =]
