I hadn't heard much about the company at all and I have had no experience with their ICs. The MKIII kit wasn't a perfect fit and even on a stock setup I think it'd be foolish to expect any low cost 'kit' like that to fit perfectly and without some modification. That said I was impressed that it came with real 4-ply, silicone couplers and T-bolt clamps.

I would recommend buying a pre bent kit over trying to figure it out yourself. It saves time and you don't end up with a million couplers under the hood plus the kits have bead rolled ends (something you will appreciate when you start to raise the boost!).
I have had the CX Racing intercooler kit on my car for around 2 years with no problems. The cost was great ($300 shipped) but it is certainly not a "bolt on" kit. Oil cooler AND lines, steering cooler, horns and coolant reservoir needed to be relocated slightly. I also had to enlarge the hole where the i/c piping enters the engine bay on the passenger side. The quality of the i/c was what you would expect for the price. It is huge and looks great behind the grill but is heavier than stock. The piping and couplers were decent but the t-clamps aren't the strongest. If your car is lowered, the i/c piping that passes under the front of the core support can easily be damaged by bottoming out or careless towing (heck even if its not lowered).
Good luck with the install.
