Having held the Fab9 in person, I can say it is a very nice core. I couldn't notice any defects at all. Wish I had it on my Jetta as well!

Plus the convenience of not having to mess with mounting brackets is incredibly nice. Literally takes a couple minutes to pop on.

Fab9 uses Vibrant cores which should be nicer as can be seen in their pic. While I haven't held a vibrant core in person, I generally trust Vibrant parts. I even wear their Tshirt to work from time to time.

I know this. I kind of added that in an edit because the original post looked more like, I was showing how the $120 intercooler was, for all intents (intensive ;)) and purposes, basically as good core wise as the vibrant. Now of course the china IC is probably twice as heavy, look how thick those end tanks are.

It's a random text that is fake Latin, that is only made to show what a text will look like...

Lorem ipsum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

no.

It was text written by Cicero, who was GREEK.

You suggested it was Puerto Rican, which is not a language.

So I corrected you saying it was Greek.

If you had said something like, "I thought it was sanskrit," I would have said, "nope it's latin."

Using Lorem ipsum, which I learned you about, is referred to as Greek[ing]. FWIW, I am the GD/UI SME you requested, by trade.

You did not win this round. You sound like Hyper taking credit for the coolant reroute after we all schooled him on it.

I did never suggest anything than my last reply that it is not greek - which it isn't ;)

Cicero though he was Greek was a Roman philosopher.
To my humble knowlegde that is what Greek writing looks like

So the Lorem ipsum is written in Latin types and has some words that resemble a text in Latin by Cicero, but only some of the words, not the whole text. So for instance the word Lorem does not exist in Latin.

Apart from that - I couldn't care less if I am wrong or right, I just wanted to make a funny reply with my last answer...

Don't leave you crazy german! Or at least kill yourself in a better way than that! Go out with a bang! Maybe fill your miata with glitter and crash it using allofit.

Thanks for the tip on the rad.

I am going to get the KOYO 53mm as extra protection for a coolant reroute. I was able to get it significantly below retail.
