    2012 intercooler kits??

    Hi all, what are my options to replace the stock intercooler on my 2012 GU. I have read that the stock ones are prone to leak??

    Cheers all.

    If Its leaky its probably leaking they all done so dont worry too muck. You only have a 3 ltr
    so a STD one tigged welded will give you about a 33% increase in size, Cant see the point putting
    one of the larger one into a 3 litre it could be money spent elswhere.Lets say an E-Locker
    Diesel Smart make a great tigged IC.. Mines been in for 4/5 yearswith out any hiccup.
    Cosy wont break the bank at arond $400 and tested to 60psi more that yuo,ll ever need
    and a 3 year warranty I believe ,
    so thats where my money would go
    Combine that with a 2.75" Beaudesert sysrem and a high flow cat and you be pulling good power

    Well this has been interesting. Three phone calls to diesel smart left a message and return number in all three. Sent a email. Nothing. No return email no call back. Mental note to self. Never try to do business with diesel smart again. So I order a kit thru hp diesel. I did that 8 days ago with a garantee that it will be in my hands in 8 to 10 working days. Today is 8 working days. Thought I would call and see how things are progressing. Nope. MAYBE late next week. I reckon I know we all like to import from over seas. Australian businesses are crap. They tell you what they think you want to hear, take your money, then forget you ever existed.

    There, I have vented. I feel better..... not.

    Have you had a look at their website or maybe FB page ? Are they open ?
    They could still be closed for Xmas holidays .
    I know a lot of businesses in our industrial area are still shut and slowly opening week by week.

    I know it sucks, but not many things get done in a jury during this period..

    I thought that too. But if I owned a business and went away on holidays I would change my phone message to tell my customers what my movements were. No such change to diesel smarts phone message. Hp diesel, I just want them to do what they said they would.
