Agency Power or Phoenix Racing charge cooler?

OEM charge cooler leaking...

I do not want to spend so much money on Mishimoto or Wagner


Do you have any experience with Agency Power or Phoenix Racing charge coolers?

Pay a little more now, or a lot more later.

Get oem from FCP

Cost about 600-700. Much better then either of those and you get lifetime warranty

I just recently installed an Agency power top mount. Install is straight forward (though they dont include the fkn screws) Performance? It does what its supposed to do, remains cool to the touch. Looks 1000X better than VSRF.

FWIW, Phoenix is sold by BMS. I wouldn't worry as much about the Phoenix just based on that fact, I haven't known Terry to sell faulty equipment.

I went VRSF due to price, the finish wasnt that great but i have no other issues. I actually refinished it with crinkle paint but it doesnt really matter since i dont really show off my engine bay... If i did, i would pay a little more for something with bling.

The mishimoto one looks good but too much money.

OEM is best if you are stock turbo.

I changed mine out as a preventative with Agency power over year ago. Haven't had to add any coolant into the reservoir since. Stays cool to the touch and no issues with fitment.
