Intercooler suggestion

AWSAWS · 06-18-2015, 05:14 AM

Hi,
I'm looking at adding a new intercooler to go FBO. The VRSF 7" looks good but with it being from the US there will be some shipping and duty charges on top of the good price. Can anyone recommend a European FMIC with similar performance (i.e. same size) at a comparable price after shipping and tax are considered?

Wagner maybe one option for example?

Thanks

Haven't directly compared but Wagner are European based and might be worth a look.

The vrsf with shipping and upgraded connectors is £310.

So add on 20% for Vat, maybe 15% duty and handling

Bottom line £420 ish seems a good deal

VRSF: 508mm x 181mm x 146mm
Wagner Evo 1: 520mm x 210mm x 130mm
Wagner Evo 2: 520mm x 210mm x 150mm

Wagner still £100+ more expensive

Thanks for that info!
I will have to see if there's any way to compare the two. Probably not.

I think VRSF is the way to go.

There cooler is currently on the worlds fastest N54 and that says enough for me! You'll see the link in there description I think.

Ah it's £386 with shipping... before duty and VAT

The wagner intercoolers look stepped where the 7" vrsf isn't. The 5" is.

Just seen this mate!

Thanks you are a legend. A UK supplier. Just what I needed!!!

Price is not bad considering full costs from the US.

Yes I see they say they are involved with one of the fasted N54's.

Ah, I've seen this site before and decided against it when reading:

"Customer is responsible for import tax"

Hmm usually inclusive as my mate got it all in for £450 48 hours later. I'm not sure?
