Order a generic from Just Jap in Sydney, same if not better performance, next day delivery to Melbourne and less money than PWR.

Talkative little b@gger aren't you Bruce?
I'm getting your I/cooler core from Adrad Bruce, they now own K&J Thermal Products who used to own PWR.
PWR are getting their intercooler cores made elsewhere now.
From a personal point of view I prefer tube and fin intercooler cores which in my opinion are stronger than the generic bar and plate I/coolers available everywhere. Plus the fact that I can get a tube and fin one built in any size I like, you can't get that in bar and plate.
I asked Richard about your core today, he was surprised it wasn't already here so he'll check early next week to see where it is.
Regards Andrew.

i've looked at them can get them for $200 but i reckon there pretty average.
Saw PWR i think its chalk and cheese between the two and just looking to get a better price.

Perhaps check out Repco, I know that they screwed PWR down to some pretty low pricing a while ago but I don't know if the same pricing applies now. It's worth checking out though.
If you want me to check with PWR I could do that through work, we've dealt with them in the past but the price they give us isn't much different to the price they give everyone.
You just need to give me a size you're looking for.
It may even be possible for us to buy the kit and I can weld the lot together, sometimes they sell us the components because they know what our welding quality is like.
Regards Andrew.

thanks for that I'll keep it in mind and check out repco and see what they have on offer.
I was looking around the hybrid models (500w or 600w) just seeing what can fit in the front of my grill without hacking it to bits. (gu patrol)

I'm using one on my current patrol and used them plenty of times in the past for other cars, never had a leak or crack, in terms of cooling mines a dual pass and on the second run the air never even gets warm its pulling so much heat out its not funny.
The PWR is just a fancier looking one, go to autospeed.com and look up the intercooler test they did ages ago that included generic chinese ones youll be suprised.
