Hi, just wondering if anyone has heard or has experience regarding the HDi intercoolers? Wanting to 'upgrade' as the one I have now is some unknown (and possibly Chinese) brand...

Any kind of information is greatly appreciated!

What makes you think HDI aren't chinese?

90% of what's out there is cut down truck core made in china.

the only stuff that's better is name brand japanese gear,which costs twice as much...for a reason.

fast fours did a write up about HDi coolers. fitted to a Wrx. they gave it pretty good comments and there was a big thumbs up to fitment and their special hose clamps.

You can get the lower range Greddy kits for similar price to HDi

I have a HDi kit in my '97 180...

had it for about 3 years and can't complain!!!

easy fitment all bracketry is supplied and youy only have to cut 1 hole in your battery tray.... (std battery will still fit if turned 90 degrees and custom clamp made 8) )

hope this helps let me know if you would like pics!!

Thanks for all the reply guys.

There's a lot of mixed info about these intercoolers, might as well opt out for a GReddy??

What are you guys using at the moment? :)

I currently have a 400x300x100 greddy in the track car as i got it cheap but previously used china cores with no issue.

I've always had custom piping though so can't comment on the kits.

How does the two compare though, Dave?

I'm using a china core..no issues yet but i feel very uneasy on long drives..

As you can probably tell from my comments..this is my very first turbo so i still have a lot to learn..sorry if i sound noobish!
