Looks like a sweet new intercooler, I love new stuff. I can't wait to see the test results.

 

This will be very interesting for these cars. What I would like to know is what the pressure drop is from stock to this new model? Plus what the reduction in IAT's are. Keep up the R&D for these cars.

 

Wow that is beautiful!

 

It appears to have horizontal VS vertical cooling fins. I didn't see the MAP sensor mount but that may be added down the line. Sure looks expensive.

At this point I'm going to have to see some remarkable gains - seems that everyone wants to replace this engine piece-by-piece for their share of the $$

 

The worksmanship on that piece is nice, but i think gains will be minimal if any. It says its 1/2 inch wider which is great and all but all the other dimensions look the same. When i spoke to Larry ay Endyn back when i had my low boost issue they noticed our stock Garret core and spoke very highly of it.

Does anyone see a price on this piece? Looks expensive.

 

No, that is called offering aftermarket products to improve the performance of your car which any other performance car out there has companies do the same thing. It is a GOOD THING, never a bad thing when more performance products are offered. As for the $ thing, isn't that what every business is about? Making a profit and offering a product that the consumer wants? Not a thing wrong with that.

 

True - but only if it adds performance....So let's wait and see what the results are.....

 

You are correct

 

The main difference is the departure from the the tube and fin to the bar and plate. Should be interesting to see the results...

 

Why try to reuse the stock intercooler location! we could of just made it even larger and mounted it elsewere... oh well.

 

It still has to be in-line with the flow of boost. Where else would you suggest mounting it, for it to remain water-to-air?
