Installed Ebay intercooler today

il have pictures up later on..

First impression heavy..

much heavier than the stock one 3 to 4 times heavier.

Definitly good quality for price.

stock elbows were a pain in the *** definitly not fun putting them on.

left the undertray off, did not feel like trimming it. Had to take off the left side air dam to oil cooler.

I did not drop boost at all. i was at 19psi dropping at 6k to about 17psi

After installed it hit 19psi and stayed all the way to 7k


boost came on alittle later than before barely noticeable but once it is spooled up is much more responsive.


i have injen intake, fuel pump, catless turbo-back, and tune.

AMS copy will never compete with the original

Boost comes a little later cause larger intercoolers create more boost lag.

I concur, but no one typed it would either in sales nor performance.
