Different Ebay Front mount kit?

[fallenauthority]

I was looking on ebay for the infamous XSPower kit, and i found this

Anybody had experience with this one? Core looks HUGE, i wont be using the BOV from the kit, I already have my type S. Looks pretty decent for an ebay kit.

there are tons of people using it here on this site and loving it, a simple search would have gave you all you need to know

It does look decent. It comes with t-clamps rather than worm clamps. Search before you post though buddy, there is a 15 page thread on ebay intercoolers and ebay intercooled related things. Good luck!

Looks like theres some piping missing and the flange on the bov doesnt look like it matches the flange on the upper pipe. ?

I know there is an ebay intercooler thread, Ive read it and i never saw this kit in there, i have just heard people talking about the XSpower one and this is not it.

i agree theres definately some piping missing, looks like its setup for rear facing outlets

its in the big ol ebay ic thread somewhere i think somewhere in the 10s page... i was thinking about getting this one instead of the other ebay ic kit

That's nice and all, but there are pipes missing.

Perhaps wrong piping all together. The pipes shown that I will assume are included, are the same pipes for the XS/SS kit. Which is super short route. On the XS kit, the intake side connects to an upper part of the ic core. This one here shows a core that is side to side, now way those upper ic pipes connect to that.

Even the lower ic pipes pictured will not work. Although they seem to be more user friendly to make work then the upper ic pipes.

The core alone is probably worth that price the auction was ended at. If you were buying from anywhere else other than EBAY, but since its eBAY if it was just the core you could get it for a lot less.

There is a reason the XS / SS kit is still "arguably" the #1 ebay kit (*cough* maybe even compared to $500+ kits , everything works.

This one does come with a knockoff BOV though as well, I guess they are trying to butter up the fact that the ic pipes wont work with the core, let alone that greddy knockoff bov, since the ic pipe is flanged for a 1g bov, in which case, im sure you know; you will have to easily modify.

There is one thing this has got the XS/SS kit beat on, if you manage to make new pipes and what not, you might be able to keep your foglights.
