VRSF Intercooler install

Seen a few good threads on this IC so I figured i'd give it a try. It's the standard 3.5"...

Pros: good core and cast end tanks
Cons: 2 thin side flanges, no flange up top (Fab'ed my own)



















I think the universal Mishimoto IC I have sitting in the trunk has better welds for half the price

Very nice! Debating if I should get one or stick with the stock one. I just have basic bolt ons waiting to install on my Evo 8 MR.

Why is that? I have read that the stocker is good for 400hp and considerably lighter than aftermarket.

your very true sir depends what kinda power or use your going to be using the evo. My opinion people get front mounts for looks. Don't get me wrong but if your looking to stay under 400 think you can spend money other parts. Deff a upgrade part but not first again everyone has there opinion. TBE should be first thats me tho
