Answer the following questions:
1. How is the intercooler performing after some usage?
2. Any problems?
3. How much power and boost are you making?
4. Whats your Intake Air Temp over ambient?
5. Do you recommend getting one?


Thank you

Mines been on about 6 months, and performs the same.
No problems
635 rwhp @ 10psi
Sitting in traffic my IAT is within 10 degrees of ambient
Well worth it over the stock ATI intercoolers, I can't compare to other brands though.

Good enough to make 635rwhp....with a 200 dollar FMIC
I've had two OBX's and they are pretty good for the price/performance.

Depends on the day. On the dyno with a big fan in front of the car the IAT rose 11 degrees from start to finish of a 4th gear pull. On the street it's even less increase.

11 degrees is really good for 10psi... I got 40F increase with the Twin Intercoolers at 10psi in 4th gear pull.
