Weight balance would be nice to see (probably would be way to time consuming and not as necessary as performance), but id weight the intercoolers on it's own, as the mass is so small compared to the car it shouldn't tip the mass to the front that much more if the delta between the two coolers isn't significant. |

For example, logging the results of multiple 2-5 gear pulls in succession could add another dimension to the simulation, testing for potential temperature inertia. |

You would just need to weigh each intercooler. You can do the rest of the math in your head to figure out which one would shift more weight towards the front. |

Donations should go to animal shelters around the Malibu area or to people who need it due to the fires.

Edit- I forgot that there was a donation involved in this comparison. But yeah those people down in Cali affect by the fires definitely could use the support. Last edited by F87source; 11-15-2018 at 07:48 PM.. |

So is the ER premium over the 5" VRSF worth it for primarily street application with a stage 2 BM3 tune?

Just a quick noob question about "pressure drop": is this the difference between the input and output pressures of the FMIC?
In other words, if the turbo is producing X psi and the throttle body is seeing Y psi, is the FMIC's "pressure drop" simply X - Y? Thanks!

Great thread and love seeing the vendors willing to do a comparison and donate to charity.
I'd like to see data between the stock intercooler and aftermarket plug and play (no mods needed to the car to install) intercooler on the stock turbo. Cheers, Chris

If you bring this up because of turbo lag due to a larger intercooler, it isn't pressure drop that causes that. It's that the larger intercooler takes longer to fill before passing the air to the engine. |

Recommendation for the following-
Stage 1 car (tune for 94 octane) Intake 12+ track days per year. 22-30min sessions. Hot weather in the summer. High speed track (Mosport) Other mods are bbk and sticky tires. Experienced driver who wants to run the entire sessions with no heat soak Car is a DD outside of track days

Looking for a recommendation. Currently undecided between the Wagner Evo 1 and Evo 2 Competition. Want tube and fin for light weights.
Mods: Stock turbo (probably never gonna upgrade) Stock downpipe (maybe will upgrade to sport cat one day, but fear the noise) MPE Eventuri Intake Bootmod3 Stg 1 or Stg2 93 octane I'm gonna experiment with both tunes. I know it says Stg2 needs a downpipe, but I plan on flashing it and looking at the logs to see what's up. Also may switch back to stock tune for winter. My driving is mostly street and some woodsy curvy roads for fun. I live in Pennsylvania and 1-2 months per year we will see 100f somedays, so I'm not in a really hot climate. |
