    Opinion wanted: OEM RS2 vs Chinese intercooler

    What would you suggest for URS6 with RS2 components, regarding quality, performance and ease of installation ?
    Here's the link to ebay unit:

    Montage is well documented here:


    Thank you,

    If you were in North America with the deeper UrS6 bumpers, I would recommend the pricy but high quality Apikol FMIC. However, the Apikol core is 3.5" (89 mm) thick and will not work with your shallower "Euro" bumper. When people in North America are looking for a FMIC to work with a Euro UrS4/S6 front bumper, I always point them to that Audifans install (same link you posted) with the 2.5" (65 mm) thick core. On that basis, in your situation, I say go for it.

      Price is also important - I can get any of two listed for about 150 EUR.

          I don't think meth will make you go fast for long, or are you on something else here?

            maybe it is better the combination of a normal IC like the RS2 item + the water-7methanol injection

              check out what JP (RWD19T) did on his urS6, iirc he didn't spend a fortune on his and is getting good results.

                  Don't bother with Chinese stuff...

                  1. Inferior quality.
                  2. Don't fuel the revolution

                    Revolutions are all I care about.
