Intercooler question.
Hey guys I've been looking around and can't seem to find a definite answer. Is the S intercooler the same as the JCW intercooler?

yes the R53 S and JCW have the same intercooler.

The GP intercooler has 2 more rows on the back of it making it larger.

Is the GP a direct bolt on or does it require mods to work

The GP uses different rear brackets, and air diverter. But it all bolts on.
We sell them, but they are now over $1000 as years ago they use to cost $400. But it is the best IC for the R53
