SOLD

This is the bigger of the 2 versions. It will come with the y-pipe, elbow and coupler. Very good intercooler.

It will fit DBW vehicles but it will be tighter than a .................;) My 2002 is DBW and it fit.

Asking $430.00 plus shipping and paypal fees.

There is a hand made bracket for the turbo side (not the aps one) that's not shown that will come with it. That's the way I bought it, minus the silicone pieces.


Post up if you have any questions. Local pick up is fine.

Thanks

Tight to the firewall or tight to the hood?

Fire wall. Like up against the A/C lines on a drive by wire car.

Hood's no issue even with 8mm phenolic spacers on the intake mainfold.

I have a 2007 wrx engine in my car.


I'm pretty sure all 2.0L wrx's are cable 02-05. 06 + 2.5L wrx's are dbw.

05+ sti's are dbw.

I could be off by a year on the wrx's.

You could've went out and opened your hood....:lol: I keed

No worries.

It's just paint, a little acetone would take it off. It's this shops logo on it.

There is a compressor discharge duct? Did you use this with yours?

Also known as a cast aluminum Y-Pipe. Yes, it's on the back of the intercooler. I had hoped that the exhaust gases would get from the turbo to the intercooler via osmosis. I went with the "compressor discharge duct" instead.

ok problem not resolved.seller states that its not his fault the Y pipe has been cut/modified and that the unit is bent.the seller and i agreed to a refund of 440 and i ship back on my own dime.now the seller has backed out saying i bought a used unit and im stuck.
at the time of sale the seller never mentioned it was cut/welded or that it was bent.not to mention the charge pipe is sealed with silicone instead of using a proper gasket.he thinks i dont want it because of the way it fits,when thats not the case.had i known it was damaged and had been modified i would have not purchased it.
look at this hack job.not to mention the bend.please feel free to comment if someone thinks im being unreasonble for wanting a refund

^^^^ I restored the intial post

Alright. If we're gonna air it here lets do that. To me the y-pipe is the way it was when I bought it "used" from someone else w/a stock turbo. It worked for me and my car with a stock turbo so I never questioned "how" it was. You can see both welds in the picture above yours. The bent end plate I have no responsibility for, my UPS guy will throw grandmas china around his truck like there's no tomorrow. I thought it was boxed reasonably well though.

Let me start again by saying "I'm sorry this does not fit your car without a bit of work.

I've sold alot of stuff here, all used, even before the trader rating with no issues. Let's state that you paid me on monday, 8/17, and had this on friday, 8/21. I had to leave work to get it. That's how commited I am to making sure people get what they buy from me as quickly as possible. You said you needed it, I did what was necassary to get it to you.

It's true on saturday (8/22) I did offer you a refund, more as oh that sucks it doesn't fit, then I did something wrong. As you know I traveled all day saturday. Saturday night when I got home I tried to refund $440.00 through your dispute on PP. It didn't go through and I assumed you had denied it. IDK. You e-mail saying send the $470.00 and you'll refund me $30.00. I went to bed.

When I woke up Sunday I thought: He tried to fit it on his car, he put it on a buddies car and I have no idea what I may or may not receive if I do the refund. Still feeling I've done nothing wrong. At that time I e-mailed stating you would have to wait until tomorrow (today) and I would e-mail you again. You e-mail me quasi demanding the refund and the next thing I know the dispute goes to a claim. To me at this point communication is over.

In the end you bought exactly what was shown. I answered all of your questions about it. I cannot answer questions not asked. You never mentioned you would be running a non-stock turbo and it never crossed my mind that the y-pipe would be a problem. I simply did not know.

I really feel I've done nothing wrong here. It's unfortunate that it did not fit without issue and your car is down. I actually feel bad for that. You escentially bought something from an internet garage sale. I'm not a business, I never stated anything was refundable or returnable.

You are now the owner of this intercooler. I would say, from your description of the problem, a hack saw, perhaps some shop work (beading), and mayb ea different silicone 90* would solve the problem.

The "handmade" bracket will go out today. Sorry it did not get put in the box with the intercooler.

I think the buyer is being unreasonable for wanting a refund.

Post #29 definitely shows that the Y Pipe had been modded before. You saw what you were buying.

As far as the damage on the core goes.... UPS customer service is there for a reason.

Hate to say it but I agree. Used part sold with pics...what more could you ask for. + I think there is always a risk with buying used parts...unless purchased in person

question-does the APS website say it will only work on certain turbos?no.thats why it shouldnt matter what turbo im running.the fact is that its damaged and hacked.i even gave you an option to get a new charge pipe and i found one at half the cost of a aps unit.you still wanted no part of that.ive given you every chance to correct this.i already told you,i will not be the loser in this.when you figure out im not messing around and when paypal comes to you for money let me know.
or if you want to take advantage of my offer call me.otherwise plan on being 470 short by the end of the week

Just qouted for the fact that you would attempt it and then keep the intercooler.

I think what you are missing is that the intercooler is exactly how I purchased it. Which is exactly how I sold it. Used. I never cared what else it may or may not fit and never gave it much thought.

question-did you buy it from APS?

I won't buy you a new charge pipe and the fact that there was rtv sealant and there weren't gaskets on it doesn't concern me cause it didn't leak.

You never told me you found a charge pipe for half price. You told me to call importracing and buy you a new chargepipe and that's my only way out of this.

nation1979
08-24-2009, 12:19 PM
well since you wont answer your phone read your email.ive already purchased a charge pipe and gaskets(95 total).what you dont seem to understand is the IC fits,rough but it fits.the whole issue is with the hacked charge pipe and bent tank.2 things that had i known in advance i wouldnt have purchased it.
so whether you refund it on your own or i go through my bank im not going to get the short end of this

Why are you being unreasonable? You bought a used item. There is no refund, return, or warranty implied with the purchase of a used item from another forum member. Its pretty clear from pics on the thread that the charge pipe had been modified. You not seeing it is no grounds for complaint. The fact that the OP bought it used and did not perform said modification means he shouldn't be held responsible for fixing or replacing it.

The pics in the thread show no bends to the fins. Notice that it is the fin structure and not an end tank as you've been saying. The end tanks are at the top and bottom. At best that was a shipping mistake, but there is no way for anyone other than yourself to know that it arrived like that and isn't something that happened when you tried to install it. If it did happen during shipping and the item was insured the two of you should be able to work with the shipping company to cover the damages. If not, then maybe its right of the seller to refund you $xx because the item arrived in poorer condition than it was shipped. That's his choice, but something you two should be able to discuss under reasonable terms.

Please don't go through with the CC dispute. I understand the displeasure when a deal doesn't go well, but you're taking it to a level that it doesn't need to go to. Disputing charges and then keeping AND using the item you've been complaining about makes you the type of person no one should ever have to do business with. You are essentially scamming the OP out of his money and that behavior is not appreciated.

Sent $75.00 to offset costs of any chargepipe that needed to be purchased. I'm trying to insure you are as happy as possible with out feeling walked on myself.

I will get the bracket out tonight via USPS. I'll get it to you by Wed.

Again. How I bought the intercooler is how I sold it, in regards to the y-pipe. I never questioned it because it worked. I had no reason to question it......or even really look at the y-pipe.

I would ask that you remove the negative feedback, my assumption is you won't. That's fine the way you feel is the way you feel.

And again, I apologize for any inconvienence in regards to your car being down.

I hope when you receive the bracket we can consider this closed.
