Will this intercooler fill up the bumper a bit more on evo 8s?

Ive just seen the old design left alot of space around the front bumper.

I think they want to clear out their inventory before building any with the cast end tanks

What are the theoretical advantages you are hoping to see over your current sheet metal fmic? I am curious. Either way count me in...be happy to be on board as long as its out this summer.

This is where honestly in my opinion where all the other intercooler's on the market fail except for on the dyno which is really not a proper way to measure what the intercooler is capable of.

So that is why I asked what advantages they were looking for. I more curious to see if they changed the core size, where the entry/exit is going to be, and possibly if they will have any AIT testing. Obviously it is expecting alot but the caliber of AMS I have no doubt it is going to fulfill expectations.

If your willing to get rid of them at a cheaper cost, I would be interested and pm me. If not I will wait for the cast ones to come out.
