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

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
