I am not affiliated with CSF in any way manner shape or form. I have also not stated anything that wasn't true about VSRF. You on the other hand advertise a lifetime warranty on your products and a 100% fitment guaranted yet never mention the modifications that you have to make to your vehicle to make the parts fit. The fan fitment issue wasn't corrected on my intercooler and I even sent you pictures to prove it. You told me no one had an issue installing the 6.5" intercooler with the brace still in yet now you're going to design one for customers that want to keep the brace in place. Shill? No, just making fellow members aware of pitfalls they can encounter with your products. If I have a positive experience with a product I pass that information along. The same goes for a negative.

Lesly has told me separate to this thread that the 5" will fit fine, the 6.5" will need the spacers, I asked if the spacers are included with the 6.5" intercooler? and the reply I got was "spacers are included but they arent' necessary" I just keep getting more and more confused with different information coming all the time, half of the issue is people and distributors getting confused between the 5" and 6.5" comp and 6.5" race. For the 6.5" Comp intercooler, can you answer the below questions I have, You can PM me if it's more appropriate but it looks like others have the same questions I do: - Are the spacers included in the kit? - Are the spacers for unbolting the brace and reinstalling the brace with the spacers in place to purely bring the brace towards the front of the car to give enough clearance so the intercooler doesn't hit anything? - For install, this requires a full front bar off job, it won't slide up from the bottom like I guess the 5" one would? - Are there instructions? - What comes in the box? - You mentioned the stock cooling fan shroud issues has been rectified, do the spacers throw this out at all? - What is the 5" rated to (hp/kw) - How far away is the M2 specific product? - Will the M2 product fit from the bottom or still require front bar off? If it still needs a front bar removal? I know I might sound like I'm a pedantic prick, but all I'm trying to do is throw money at your company to get more power out of my car, and i'm really struggling to justify giving my money for a product with minimal and incorrect information. I just want to install an intercooler that will at least do Stage 2 with a possibility of stage 3 in the future, and fit my other bolt on bits that I already have (VRSF catless downpipe and VRSF charge pipe). I mean this in the most constructive way possible, but the misleading info on your website doesn't help. Why can't there be 2 separate pages for the two different products with the different applications? If the dimensions, weight, part numbers, photos, vehicle applications are different between the two, they should be two different product pages. The amount of confusion having one product page for two different products is amazing, even your distributors get confused like the conversation on Facebook I've posted below. If your distributors get confused, how are the rest of us meant to buy the right product? I do get that other guys frustration, yes he's finding every opportunity to bag out VRSF intercoolers, but VRSF is just making it way to easy for people to bag out the intercoolers right now. I still want a VRSF intercooler, I just need some basic honest information which a product page should have. Last edited by Wattens; 04-01-2020 at 08:57 PM.. |

It just seemed odd to me. I'm not in the market though, as I have a sport cat.

I went VRSF 6.5" in the end. Had it installed and it did fit in the spot without taking the front bar off but it was heavily pushing on the front support brace, so had to take the front brace off, front bar etc... put spacers on the brace to move it forward about 20mm and it's sitting fine. Also did BM3 stage 2 OTS at the same time

It's the way the M2 should have come from factory really. No logs as I don't have a cable yet (ordered it this morning so should et it after Easter).
No noticeable turbo lag with the intercooler. VRSF still need to put out more accurate info about their product and vehicle application, I'm still annoyed at how long it took to get some basic info and most of my questions weren't answered by VRSF. That brand could be doing so much more if they look at their business from the customer's perspective. |

Went through this entire thread and other than Mikes super helpful data I lost brain cells. VRSF and CSF never happened, CSF got banned for some reason....anybody know why?
FWIW I picked up a Wagner EVO II Preformace Intercooler for my FBO M235i, stock vs the Wagner was a world of difference. IAT's dropped during 3ed gear pulls and stayed extremely low through out an entire 2 to 6th pull with minimum IAT increase. Throttle response became better as well. car is MHD Stage 2+.

I run a Wagner Evo 2 comp + 300 cell dp for 2 years already. Just a few days ago I got bootmod3 license and did some logs to check the latest mods on cooling I did (water cooler, oil cooler). I noticed a quite high increase in IAT in both runs, first run from 78 to 108, which is 38 %, ambient temp was about 38F. So many guys report a slight increase in IAT using aftermarket ICs, I wonder if my one fails in some way. The car is only used on track, I wonder what it will show during a 1 hour session. Many thanks for your comments. https://www.bootmod3.net/log?id=5e91...729b5ecc22119f |

Was eyeballing the Wagner Evo3...it hands down looks the business....but it will essentially require removing the entire front end brace..or chopping it up. I'm not even sure if companies did their due diligence when it comes to that. But at the same time we have the only N55 that runs the same brace in place as the M2c/3/4.
I'm almost certain it can't be safe not running that extra reinforcement there. I'm at a toss up between the Comp2 vs Comp3 |
