Just got mine in.
Looks like it arrived in good shape, brackets bent or anything?

I love the fact that the free shipping from China was faster than ECS free shipping and they're in OH and I live in PA..

Everything looks good. Brackets dont appear to be bent. The packaging was nicely done. Bubble wrap all the things!

what kind of intercooler is the ebay one. Is it a bar & plate or a tube & fin?

Looks to be a direct replica for the Forge FMIC if that helps. I can't answer your question for sure but maybe you'd know by the pics. https://www.forgemotorsport.com/Twintercooler_for_Golf_GTi_Mk7--product--1025.html

Stupid question time: does this go in conjunction with an FMIC/Majesty/whatever one, or in place of? Sorry, don't have the car yet to poke my head under and verify.

Thanks! So sounds like pair with an upgrade to IC as well for a pretty good setup.

Some here have said that it would be overkill to pair with an aftermarket intercooler, unless you are going big turbo. Even then you might experience pressure drop. See what results you get first and then make that decision.
the included hoses work fine. small issue with sizing on the connection to the stock IC but there are some simple options to resolve... maybe a page or two back in the thread.

I ordered a 2.25 small silicon coupler to use on the stock IC side to snug up the fit as other users suggested. Was only a few dollars on amazon. i haven't installed yet though so no other input than that.
