    "Real world" would probably be hard to tell the difference. You would see differences on a dyno. Any power / economy improvement you get is worthwhile as it will save you money in the long run.

    The main difference I noticed with mine was that on 40deg days I still have plenty of power where with the OEM one she dragged her butt like a dog with worms

    Too true - especially as most after market intercoolers have a fan as well.

    Reconditioned Intercooler installed and all works well. Intercooler from Turbotech for $880 (Perth prices!) as quicker and easier than internet. Many thanks for help on forum.
