It is a very nice intercooler. Im a little anal regarding the pleacement of the maf sensor but im sure it will be fine.

WOW that intercooler is so mint! that really is a work of art. Wish they would just sell the cold side or hot side kits.

Intercooler is same dimension as the one treadstone sells for fox body but says it fits up to 2004, besides the maf housing on the top of the intercooler which is so sick!

Do a air to water intercooler, much lower IATs and higher efficiency than air to air and lower pressure drop across the core.

If you are sticking with A2A, then do a tread stone, cheap and they work really well, their intercooler cores are louvered so they do cool the charge air pretty good.

On my BW kit with a 4.5” thick core my temps while cruising are about 3-5 degrees ambient. They don’t rise much when under full boost either compared to the Whipple I had.

Indo agree that a2w is more efficient. But not for a street car. Don't you agree?

Treadstone is who I worked with for all of my previous projects. I also agree with Kona 18 to look at air to water.

Depends on where you mount the intercooler, the thing about street cars is you can't go and cover your entire front end with the intercooler so you need to run one like the MMR manifold or something mounted in the engine bay

Air to water would be fine on a street car and very desirable. Only negative is cost and all of the added components to make it all work (pump, water lines, ice box, etc).

Most factory roots blower cars come with air to water coolers from the factory (gt500). They work and work well.

Started my install. Super excited. Car is flying apart pretty quickly lol. I worked at it for about 2 hours tonight and got a lot done.

By the way... WTH is this electric air wing deflector crap right behind the bumper cover!?!

that vent/electric thing to control air flow is a bitch to get off.... cant forget that!

That thing is active shutter for MPGs and downforce. Car also warms up faster in the winter when its closed.

It took me about 2 we3ks to figure out what the noise was when I shut off my car when park8ng in my garage.

Took me a while to figure out to shine a flashlight in the grill and see what the noise was.

Either way i think its a prettt cool piece IMO.

Nice. Figured it was something like tbat.

It weighs 7 lbs and will now sit in the corner of the garage LOL.
