I tried to buy one as he does them from 99p in auctions at times , when he started bidding me up I stopped bidding and he then second offered me and I declined

They are made by direnza , look at their website for better pics , welds don't look to good and the inside of the cooler casting looks rough which won't help flow ,

But it's your decision , I also don't think them pipes are the right shape to fit properly ,

I'm selling my kit soon , it's good for 225bhp before the cooler maxes out and gets hot as core is small to fit behind bumper open to offers but want £100 all hard pipes included and pancake pipe which is widened and welded to cooler hard pipe

Looks better than most of the cheaper ones i've seen...... Although looks can be deceiving etc. The pipework does look a strange shape. Pm'd you too, check your inbox.

Get a welly cooler from toyo sport about £80 on eBay then make up some pipework , this cooler is highly recommended from badger 5

No I haven't updated it yet not got round to it ,
I'm now at 220bhp with 290ft-lbs , it will do more but AMD also reported my fuel pump is failing and I had few other issues on the day
I'm converting to a cupra r manifold which allows a normal cooler to be fitted as it exits the other side of engine bay and comes back up where original pipe went down with a welly cooler then a charge pipe past cambelt back to turbo
Also upgrading in tank pump , 225 injectors and rail with other mods I want to see 250 which is probably ko3S Max
