Carbahn Intercooler
has anyone tried this? It is from Steve Dinan's new shop.
https://carbahn.com/product/cbn55-20...428435m235-m2/ every other review I have seen related to Dinan or CSF which were expected to be OEM fitment, turned out not to be. but haven't heard anything about Carbahn's... |

Get the CSF (I'm about to put one up for sale in a bit lol). The fitment issues really aren't that bad. Get some different screws (if you don't want the phillips head ones) and just get some bigger washers and it'll fit just fine. Plus, it's pretty common to find on sale for $399 so why not. If you really wanna spend the money/go high power, get the Wagner Evo 3. Evo 3 is by far the best intercooler for N55 M2 but really isn't needed unless you're going for a high power build. The CSF I have on my car is more than enough for my PS2 setup

AmuroRay The race intercooler will probably perform better, and it's cheaper.
I recommend the MAD race intercooler, It is the best value on the market, and you get a lifetime warranty plus solid customer support

Does the MAD race intercooler fit the M2 without having to trim or change the chassis brace?

Do you think a run of the mill performance shop that specializes in these cars will be able to mod the brace to get the intercool to fit?
