PRL Billet Aluminum Heatsink

@PRL Motorsports Billet Aluminum Heatsink came in today. I know it’s probably more for looks than anything but I like how it looks. It has some good weight to it whereas the stock is plastic. I love me some PRL products. Now I just need that intake and charge pipes to drop.

Agree. Efficacy raises eyebrows, but it looks nice nonetheless. It’s like one of those “cherry on top” accessories if you’re planning to get a bunch of matching PRL parts (as you mentioned).

I figured since I’m not gonna get a tune and push more air, I don’t need the inlet pipe. That $300 saved there will go to buy charge pipes when released. I like to mod but still like the fairly “stock” look. The inlet pipe is definitely prettier but think a tune is needed to gain its intended purpose and I’m not looking to do that.

Will the charge pipe give you anything without a tune?

I’m only getting charge pipes because of the flex of stock pipes. They were known to rip on fk8. And since I want the Intercooler and don’t need a tune with it, I want the cohesion with the IC and better quality pipes. I think any mod aimed at improving performance would need a tune to maximize benefits. My build going to specifically be geared toward improving quality and keeping an OEM+ type look.
