looks pretty good, how much do those kits go for?
 
So is this what the huge thread is all about? this kit? Isn't it the same/similar as the PR kit?

No. They are not the same. Spend some time researching both manufacturers kits and make your own educated decision. I, personally, feel that the VR Speed kits are better quality. Tailored to fit each car, as far as I know. I followed the thread for the 2g kits and I know that after the initial group buy, revisions were made to the entire kit that made it, strictly, a bolt-on affair. I'm not sure if they've made any revisions for the 1g kits, as I have not followed the progress. However, Tiago's overall customer service is top notch. He's a good guy. His intercooler kits are a GREAT bang-for-your-buck buy.
 
The core looks a tad smaller than my ETS.. Is it?
imo put some mesh in front of it so you dont bend all the fins.

EDIT: not the ricer mesh but something like this

Ricer mesh? Is your definition of richer mesh chicken fence? Heh.
 
looks good. ive been trying to decide between the PR and the VR kit
 
It looks really nice.

The only complaint I would have is the huge coupler that attaches to the TB elbow looks kind of ghetto. I will probably have a piece welded on to extend the piping so that the coupler isn't so long. To me that doesn't look very clean. Although I do have a ton of couplers on my current setup LOL. But you can't beat this kit for the price.

Mine is supposed to be shipping Tuesday :sneaky:

They're both from over-seas, nonetheless.

PR Kit
-26x8x3.5 Bar and Plate core

VR Speed Kit
Intercooler Core Dimensions: 24"x8"x3.5"

I did say "same/similar". With the group buy the VR speed kit is 100 cheaper. But i'm pretty sure the Pr kit comes with a J-pipe (could be wrong on that one)..

True. I'd still go with VR Speed's kit, though. The only reason that I haven't is because I have issues with taking off the core support or cutting into it to make this fit, therefore weakening the support. I was in a car accident a few years ago. Not fun. I pray to never have to experience anything like that again.

True, the PR kit does come with a J-Pipe. However, so does VR Speed's kit. It's actually on his website as an option when you're placing your order. Give Tiago a call, he'll help you out. The kit was originally designed for down facing turbo's but he, again, gives you the option for a J-Pipe, as well.

Also, just a small note, your CORE dimensions for both kits are off a bit. The core size for PR's kit is: 29"x11"x3" and the VR Speed kit is: 28.5"x10"x3.5"

You are thinking of the 2G kits for PR and VR Speed. And you are correct on those #'s.

Nytescion did list the correct dimensions for the 1G kits. This thread is discussing 1G kits. Not 2G kits LOL

AH! My bad :coy: Good call, Charlie. Thanks! I still stand by what I said about VR Speed's quality, though :).
 
No problem :thumb:

I'm waiting to see the quality once I get my kit :D

Based on what I've seen, I'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed. However, let me know nonetheless, eh?? I have yet to purchase an intercooler setup, and I want to know what I can expect from the ACTUAL tangible kit...not just some pictures.

True for another 50 bucks. I'd opt for the bigger of the two IC's although it's not much. I'm trying to come across like a dick but I'm just saying I don't see what the big hype is over these kits compared to others.
