FK8 Intercooler - pics? when? :-)

[jasonjm]

When you guys plan on having the fk8 Intercooler out?

Will it come with piping?
Reuse OE pipes?
Modifications necessary?
Any improvement with spool?
Temps?

You can PM me the info if you have any. I have an Intercooler ready to install but could wait depending on the info.

Hey,

Sorry just saw this. I'll attach some pics here. @jasonjm

Too add a little context to the images above
1) will offer these cores with a black powder coat instead of an anodized or spray paint finish, why? because it is much more resilient to road debris and is more durable. So less likely to get that peppered damaged look over time.
2) The raised fins you see are so that it completely seals amongst the front bumper. This means no air can go above or around the core. This forces the air only one way through; the core which means it does the job of removing the heat which is what we need it to do.
3) Cast end tanks allow us to add in some super unique design features. (new blog coming this week or next on that) I'll post it here with more details
4) curved inlet allows much better airflow and the ability to utilize the entire core. The sharp 90 on the inlet for the OEM is pretty brutal on air.

Will offer the option to add our boost tubes which goes live this month.
Will reuse the OEM hard pipe on the cold side.
No mods, possible slight trimming of OEM shrouds but will let you know
Oh yes
Way cooler. all this data will be sharing in the coming months. You can read a bunch about how we test here (http://www.superstreetonline.com/ho...ctronics-intercooler-testing-and-development/)
