Thoughts on the CSF DCT cooler?

[slowmtree]

As the title suggests I’m looking for input on the csf DCT cooler if anybody is running it. Long story short my bumper got damaged and somehow the dct cooler got bent, so I need a new one. I know the do88 stuff is the shit but I’m not willing to spend that kind of money as I don’t track my car (at least not yet)

It’s between oem and csf, both around the same price from FCP, I know csf makes decent products considering price but I just don’t know if it’s worth me sacrificing OEM quality for CSF.

Is the CSF DCT cooler bogus or does it really improve efficiency at all (they say ~30% efficiency increase through lab testing)

i can send you my OE one for free (if you pay for shipping)

i don't think the CSF one is worth it.. it may be more efficient, but it's the same physical size as the OE one, unlike the do88 which is massively bigger.

Fwiw I ran a dented DCT cooler (front end accident) for years. As long as it isn't leaking and can still mount properly, there's really no urgency to replace it. I only replaced mine recently as I got a good used unit for cheap.
