Mechanic Unimpressed by MAD intercooler?!
Ordered this from XPH last year: MAD N20/N26 Intercooler + Charge Pipe Combo
Finally getting it installed now but here’s what my mechanic had to say: Hi, this is Tom from xyz. I want to update you about the repair. The new intercooler you brought is approximately 4 times heavier and a little bigger than the stock intercooler. The connections are plastic and only 2 bolts are holding it in place. You will need to drive the car very carefully. If you hit a bump fast, it might come off. Also, there is a slight dent on the intercooler. Please review the pictures and you will have a better idea of what is going on. Pics: View post on imgur.com Is he exaggerating or did I buy a dud? I track the car about six times a year.

Intercooler screws
That is how the intercooler is connected. Also the hoses connected to the intercooler. I have had an intercooler designed like that one on my car for over a year. no issues. The roads in MA are horrible! I would wory about the damage. If any part of the intercooler cracked. That could cause a leak!
