ETS Intercooler installed

Just installed the ETS intercooler .. some picts here ..

What I like most about the kit .. the fittings .. everything as it should be .. some minor issues here and there since my kit is custom sized by me and Tom is helping it out now ..

Here goes

Standard versus ETS


Custom sizing on my IC


Clean interior


UICP being installed


IC being installed


Finally engine everything installed nicely


Performance wise ..pretty much what I expected from upgrading the IC .. interesting misconception is with bigger intercooler and pipings, it should be laggier .. but thats not the case .. pull and surge is stronger .. the punch is still at the same rpm but its so much stronger now ..

I still have some issues .. but Tom is working with me to solve it
A standard kit will definitely not have any problems !!

So, what kind of issues are you having with this IC? And why and how did you "custom size" it?

Nope .. not JDM MAD .. in fact .. it should be USDM MAD instead !!!

I requested for a 13" IC instead of the standard 12" IC .. so the UICP ended up being a tad too long after the bend .. it was poking out above the radiator cover

And the other one .. well .. not surprisingly as when I ordered the whole kit .. you guys don't have SSTs yet .. so I ran into LICP issues
