Has anyone tried fitting the Procharger stage 2 intercooler or the Vortech/paxton kit on a car with the adaptive cruise control?

Looks like the procharger might fit but unsure on the paxton.

Was wondering if worth leaving off the order sheet if it would have to be removed.

Thanks,

My ACC has not worked since installing my intercooler. I'm thinking it needs to be re-calibrated. Not much info out there, but yeah if you're looking to install an intercooler, chances are your ACC won't work. Actually your cruise control won't work at all.

PC here and also ACC. No issues whatsoever.
The PC intercooler is taller than wider. I had to modify the sensor bracket to fit my intercooler.

I have adaptive cruise control, I wonder if there's issues with the Paxton intercooler

I cut off the long bracket and then bolted it back up. I did have to cut a lot of material off the lower bumper insert in order for it to fit again.

I may have to do that as well if I decide to go with the Paxton. It still works perfectly though?

It does..... Occasionally the thing dings and says the sensor is blocked. Which it is. There is a small piece of the bumper insert pretty much right in front of it. Doesn't bother me. I just press ok lol

Ah, I suppose as long as regular cruise control works well it wouldn't be too much of an issue

Neither my acc or regular works. I guess I'd have to bring it to a dealer to get it working.

I don't have an EB but have ACC and am thinking about some mods in that area. Does anyone know if there are some pictures of the sensors and how they are mounted in the car?

It's behind the bumper on the drivers side.
