Hi Rugs

I have one off ebay rated at 1000hp bosh water pump and a small heat exchanger works well. If you want to buy a complete kit try froozen boost they are from to U.S.A. but are ment to be good to deal with and seem to be a good unit.

Sweet the one you got off eBay, do you remember where/ who sold it to you? Also how much it was worth if you don't mind?

i also run one of the ebay kits, every easy to set up and work really well. make sure you presurise the system befor you fit it to intake to be sure that it dosent have any leaks.

cost ended up being AUS$415 to the door plus puying the hose and a couple of copper fittings got away with it fitted for under $500.

what is your budget??

Frozenboost kits from USA - <1000ish landed here.

Laminova $yillions but check one of the 400 laminova threads.

The best would have to be the Laminova setup, but "best" doesn't fit everyone's budget. There's a few people running Frozenboost W/A kits with some good results on here.

Frozen Boost

Post by Feenz »

Hey check out my installation last xmas of the frozenboost kit, see what you think, it's a little bit off dicking about, makes a noticeable difference. I'm actually going to pull my one out and sell it off if anyone is interested and go a front mount air/air system. Keeping it simple.

Ive noticed it just gets a heap of heat soak offroad, so you have to keep the water pump and thermos on, for when you do want boost, so they obviously don't last forever and will wear out one day (Murphy will make that the cape or simpson). There is only so many spares you can carry.

It's a good intercooler, made a lot of difference keeping the whole engine system cool in soft sand towing a boat for hours.

Your choice.
