Anyone use these? Wagner had a Christmas deal so picked up the intercooler trying to figure out if worth replacing the plastic pipes - 2016 F56 JCW. But they are just aluminum pipes so probably similar across the Mini versions. ECS has them, and oddly their own set is almost twice as much…

I’m leaning towards Racing Dynamics being GTG but wanted to see if anyone had to make the same call

 

For those who have already installed a Wagner intercooler or equivalent on a Mini F56 JCW, the general opinion is that these larger aluminum air exchangers provide better heat dissipation and less restriction compared to the original, with an installation that is generally “plug & play”.
