MTC Intercooler
- Thread starter gixercho
- Start date
VRSF does not have a divider plate on the hotside of the IC unless things have changed. The tabs on the rear of the VRSF are bent up, on this not bent.
BMS does have a hotside divider to direct air flow but has 2.5'' in and 3'' out. This appears to be 3'' in and out.
The listing says 7'' thick. Both the BMW and VRSF are listed as 7.5''.
So...who my guess is VRSF clone/knock off/ or the same product basically. VRSF maybe has USA distribution rights? These guys customized it by black anodization and the air flow piece for EU customers?
edit: the more I look at it the more it looks like a BMS clone. Who knows?

MTC is a popular UK brand used by the Chinese turbo boys. they take the Chinese clones and mass import them to save on import fees and then resale with margin.
most of their other intercoolers are wagner clones but im unsure what this is a clone off.. i would imagine its the Phoenix race BMS have.

This could be the non-HD version that you can buy here locally in China for 2600 RMB / USD 390 / GPB 295. AFAIK the HD version is not produced in China.
EDIT: Thanks your finding and reading my post. Unfortunately, Spoolstreet is no longer a neutral platform where we can have honest discussions on subjects and products freely.
For this reason I have deleted all information I posted on the forums.

I'm on MHD stage 2+ and have the MTC 5" stepped in a M3 style front bumper (large opening), the same like ARM or VRSF or china Wagner knockoff indeed. It really does not perform that bad compared to OEM which had way higher IAT's (tested and datalogged myself) Sure a 7" HD or a race core will be even better.
I have MTC inlets on mine as well as a lot of others and i know a lot of people running the DPs and their coolers & catch cans. I would say popular with the Chinesium UK lads. I am on the edge of pulling the trigger on a set of their S55 DPs & charge pipes for my M2 Competition.
