I just ordered it from x-ph.com. Hope they have them in stock?!!

Did you have any issues with turbo lag with your Wagner I . What are your mods?

I didn't have any issues with the inlet and outlet pipes on my CSF.

I installed a Wagner EVO 1 Comp along with ER charge pipe. No increase in lag whatsoever compared to stock intercooler.
I'm on the stock tune with a 300 cell downpipe (installed before intercooler+charge pipe).

Mods are in sig, If there is some turbo lag I certainly cannot say I have noticed.
Car pulls very very strong.

I live in Los Angeles where ambient temps can rise to 100 degrees in the summer. I plan to track 3-4 times a year. Would you guys recommend the wagner evo comp 1 or 2? I am concerned about increased turbo lag. Thanks!

I had Wagner comp evo 2 on my stg 2 f20 m135i and now have CSF on my m2.

No lag issues with either TBH

I forget, are you tuned or stock? I heard CSF induces more lag on stock cars but tuned is no issue. That's what's having me lean towards Wagner comp 1 since it's lighter and no reported increase in lag on stock cars.

Wagner units are carefully designed to provide the best balance between temp control and pressure air drop (turbo lag). When used with the correct setup, there will be no noticeable lag

I ran typical stg 2 bolt-ons (Fspeed 200 cell DP/AFE dry drop in filter/ER boost pipes/CSF cooler) with stock tune for a while and no noticeable increase in lag but I also have pure hi inlet pipe & GFB dv+. Both these add ons help throttle response over stock with stock tune. Then, with remap, car punches harder everywhere & much more resilient/stable in mid & upper rev range.

I'm not a super fast backroad driver, but on stage 1 tune the Wagner Comp Evo 2 pretty much stayed between 72f and 85f on a 30 minute drive. Ambient was about 60f depending on where I was. Wanger Comp Evo 1 probably would have been good enough for me even on hot days outside a track environment, but the Evo 2 gives me enough headroom I could drive harder or add additional mods.
