I've been looking at alternative intercoolers in the states & came across the X02 intercooler which can be had for $300 delivered. Now things like this always seem to good to be true but i've been reading around on other forums (Impreza, Skyline etc...) & the feedback seems to be all positive.

What are your views? Any tried & tested? I'll do a search on here & see what I can find but for £150 delivered that's a hell of a saving over a £400 GRS intercooler

+ VAT, Import duty etc?

My MPG has gone down massively on very short trips, if you nip around town or do anything under 10 miles I find it very poor. However, on A-B roads when doing around 100 ish miles I can get 27mpg driving spiritedly.
