Has anyone tried this IC?!
I found this on eBay. Looks decently made from the pics. It also looks like a GP IC knock-off of sorts, but it's half the cost of the OEM part!

Anyone think it's worth it?

Looks more like the GRS intercooler from the UK to me.

I searched, not too much out there for the mini one specifically. However, I did find out that only 3 of 4 clamps are used to attach this thing to the SC horns! Wtf is that all about? How is it supposed to hold boost!? Lol.
Oh well. Guess I'll just have to save up for a GP IC :(
Too bad they cost so much, plus the fact that I doubt anyone will even buy a stock IC...

when i used to work at the dealer i saw a mini come in with something that looked similar to that and i shut the hood and looked through the scoop and just saw a slab of metal. the thing didnt didnt even fit low enough to actually let any air pass through the IC. a bigger IC cooler is a good idea but not if the thing cant even breathe! +1 for the gp IC you cant go wrong when its an oem part. theres a reason mini made it and from what iv heard other people say it works close or better then all the top aftermarket ones. i just wish i had bought it when i had the chance working for mini. coulda saved me 200 bucks
