well for low boost at least so far this thing is the shizzle.

Got an update phone call from the owner of the TA in the pics and he did a little highway blast this morning and the inlet temps actually went down I guess due to all the air rushing past as the car went faster. Start of the run they were 78, end they were 73.

hopefully he will be ready to turn up the wick this weekend and we will see how good it does at ~10psi

man I gotta find time to install my shizzle this is killing me

Excellent IAT numbers!
Just got my OBX FMIC yesterday. For the money this intercooler looks great! I'll be pumping 12psi though it.
Since I already have a water tank and pump installed in the rear from my old DIY water/air unit, I may as well fab up a nice intercooler sprayer system also.
Cool boost here we come!

this bad boy continues to impress.

It was 95-100 degrees out over labor day weekend here.

Owner hit the road and inlet temps were 95, little 3rd gear blast at 5psi and temps hit 98.

Sweet Can't wait to start my install this week.

I can't tell from the pics, but are you going to have to relocate the battery for that setup? I'm about to get an STS myself & also want a FMIC....Nice car BTW, reminds me of someone elses I know
