    Intercooler apparently damage by to much boost lol

    I'm no expert, but surely turning up the boost to high would not bend an inter cooler out of shape!

    Not possible, hose will pop long before it bends a cooler

    Its a tube and fin design which were always cheap and weak. Thats why most these days are bar and plate design. This is knackered and should be binned.

    Is it sells for 99p then the buyer is very silly.

    Ive no idea why somebody would even try to sell this scrap.
