Has anyone heard about the Greddy spec M front mount intercooler that is made in Taiwan (not Japan) ,Do you guys think that is geniune greddy if that cost $600 which is selling on ebay. I'm thinking to get one for my 33 and worry that is cheap fake ....A friend of mine said that intercooler is fake and better get a hybrid one. What u guys think??

the core is the same as the china coolers but the end-tanks are piping and trust items.

I personally buy it. ive have a china kit on my car and now ive upgrade to a trust kit and the difference is huge the piping fits perfectly and does not hit my bonnet or fan and the over-all quality of the kit is very good.

the reason why its cheaper than the other trust kit is because the core uses a bar and plate design compare to the other ones which are tube and fine

everything these days are made in Taiwan/china

even the sticker that say "MADE IN USA' are made in china

nothing is wrong with the product if it is made there

remember at one stage made in japan was like saying made in china

i dont think my Hks type s intercooler was made in china.

you will be surprises the amount of produces which are made in china, its purely to do with the cost of manufacturing. As its is cheaper to make something in China than USA/Australia/Japan etc etc

If you are worried about the ebay item being a genuine M Spec intercooler, there should be Greddy stamped in white on the top of the cooler but no where else. I should know I have Greddy M Spec intercooler. Some of the other Greddy coolers have "Greddy" stamped on the end tanks and possibly some of the piping but I don't know for sure

      To back this up, I'm always looking on the outside, seeing the level, and then opening it up anyway, as I'm worried the level I've looked at, is more so a scunge line. Then you end up dipping your damn finger in it too depending on the type of tank you're looking at just to make sure I'm not going insane.   PS, Mark, polish up the none moroso one a bit and then give it a clear coat. The Moroso one looks to be way shiner (not mirror polished, just shinier) and it'll still look weird with the two different alloys beside each other. Either that, or Id probably paint them a flat black...

      Yes, overthinking. Many PS reserviors are completely opaque. Our Skyline ones, for example. Have to remove lid, peak inside, swirl the dipstick, try to remember how to read it, etc etc. Normal. Radiator overflows are often sufficiently opaque and scunged up that you can't see the true level inside anyway, and have to open and have a peak. Besides which, I replaced the (massively expensive, even back then) plastic overflow in my Alfa GTV, back in the '90s with a stainless one that I had a good fabricator make up to be dimensionally same-same, that looks remarkably similar to the Bogan's Moroso one above, and I never suffered any particular paranoia that I didn't know how much coolant was in it.

      Looks great, but I'm always concerned that it makes it difficult to see what level the fluids are at. Am I overthinking this?
