It would be nice if you can let us know how it feels!!!

You install it yet?? It looks like the mounting holes are alot higher than oem or most aftermarket FMIC's. Let us know how the install went and how it bolts up! pics pics pics

Just finished the install. I can't express how happy I am w/ the ease of installation. Everything lined up perfectly. The ducts in the air damn met up w/ the welds on the end tanks perfectly. It clears everything perfectly. No wiggling, pushing, squeezing, prying, bending...nothing.

The boys at Greddy mentioned that I might have to use washers to line it up because I picked up their CZ4A prototype unit. NOPE, no washers needed. It was dead on. I bolted it up once and that was it. 2 hour install w/ a lift and it was my first time removing the Evo X bumper. Well done. A link to the writeup and pics will be here by tonight. Getting tuned next week.

Wow I'm impressed. Even if the divider in the end tanks doesn't do anything, at least they are innovating!

My wife ruined my OEM lip so I picked up the Greddy one. Not my favorite, but it was inexpensive and it looks good for the street.

The first real world test

I snapped some pics of the outside temp compared to intake temp w/ the Greddy intercooler.

About a week before installing the Greddy Intercooler, I monitored the intake temps and outside temps w/ the stock intercooler cruising on the freeway at about 80MPH. It has been consistently around 50 degrees in the morning. The intake temps w/ stock cooler were 6-7 degrees hotter than the outside temp. It never read any less than that.

Today the intake temp was only 3 degrees hotter. It was nice to see instant results.

Nice measure. It may not show up on the dyno, but you have really done your car a favor.

Seems pretty much aligned for the big names out there.

As to the testing, its a start.

We really need to buy one of these as a group and pass it around to test the different ICs.

When my son and I were running a MiniS, the community picked up a dual temp probe and a dual pressure gauge and and we passed it around, testing different ICs. We were able to mount both in the IC couplings so you didn't have to drill the IC. All the data was sent to one member who complied it and posted it.
