Customer Reviews
Install was a breeze, direct bolt on. I spent a little extra time cutting and trimming the stock air diverters (you don't need to, you can remove them entirely). Immediately on test drive I notice lower IAT2s at idle. Cruising in 60f to 80f+ temps in city and freeway driving I'll see as much 20 degrees difference in IAT2s than before with the stock intercooler. I am also using a ktuner with a TSP stage 1 tune. With the stock intercooler and the tune, Knock Control would creep as high as .90+ on some 3-4-5 pulls. Now with the Garrett intercooler I've so far only seen as high as .65 in 80f+ outside temps, the car now pulls more consistently until redline. I've noticed no loss in low end power or response.
