Both top tier. Why should I spend $300 more.
The Wagner probably fits better and the $800 in tube and fin design so it's lighter, should have less turbo lag, and should dissipate heat faster when it's heat soaked as the air flows through it better. Also consider customer service if there is an issue, VRSF was not the easiest to get ahold of when I was sent the wrong item. It took a long time to get through the process and get the correct item sent to me.

The VRSF intercooler probably doesn't heat soak as quick as the Wagner Evo comp 2, but once it is heat soaked it should take longer to cool down.


For me I was most concerned about turbo lag and liked that the Wagner would cool reasonably quick when air flowed through it when not in throttle.


I hear the ATM intercooler is great though as well.
