Default SMIC Upgrade Question

So i'm looking into mods to do and want to upgrade the intercoolers. I found these on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/00-01...QQcmdZViewItem, and was going to pair them up with the APR hose kit. What do you all think? I figured i'd ask since I could save about $600 bones. Lemme know.

IMHO, I would skip, the core looks little cheap, & the welds are not the greatest. The core doesn't seam all that much bigger from stock. So it's only half of a upgrade.

The APR hose kit, is for the RS4 IC's bigger outlets & not for "stock replacements"

Save up & get a good known IC kit.

yes, what he said, the AWE kit looks good, but is a bit pricy, try to find some used ones on the classifieds here or on audizine.com good luck
