Ok, one each way... anyone else before I flip a coin ??
Seems hard to work out any specs on the two of these... I guess Pete's is a tad cheaper and I might get a slightly cheaper bundled freight deal with my Remap tool...? But the Alive one is a cool grey colour.... hmmmmmm. |

Hey Big Steve, do you have any info you can share or point me to regarding your 3.2 conversion? Hamish.

Hamish if you do a search placing "3.2" in the subject and "big steve" in the author box it will throw up 49 threads relating to the truck.
It is a natural trait for just about everyone to say that what they have fitted is the best. I too have a larger intercooler and at the time due to quality issues with the Alisport I veered clear and chose a different one. There are a myriad of threads regarding intercooler upgrades on here. They all ultimately do the same thing. Have a look at the threads, perhaps make a few enquiries and then make your own uniform, unbiased choice. Colour doesn't matter it won't be seen much.
In the interim here is a picture for you. Sorry it is not in your preferred colour of grey though.

The colour makes a big difference, Black is much more efficient!

How does black make it more efficient? I would have thought black would attract the heat more than silver which is kind of the opposite required

Personally I'd give allisport a very wide berth, ,mine looked like this with less than 7k miles on it

Did you buy it direct from Alisport if so I would ask for a replacement.# I have two Alisports one on a 200TDi, it is nearly eight years old and still looks brand new. The more recent one has only done about 3000 miles and looks as good as the day I fitted it. Last edited by gilarion on 20th Jun 2014 6:47pm. Edited 1 time in total |

Nope, I'll post some more up, it has started on the inside and was on my Td5 'toy' so never steamed or anything like that. Just a cheap crap core sadly.

I spoke to them at the time but they didn't seem interested. Had 20 questions about the life of the vehicle etc......I'm a diesel engineer for Gods sake I think I know how to treat an intercooler
I spoke to trading standards about it at the time, but it was at a certain point in my life when everything was falling apart around me so it got forgotten about. |
