Cheers

That's very kind of you! I'll take them. Let me know if you need more information than my order number: 289 (PSM Dynamic).

CSF logo

The CSF intercooler comes with a cardboard stencil cutout. I thought it would look cool so I went for it!

That's awesome! What did you use to stencil? Regular spray paint?

I got primer and spray paint meant for high heat metals.

It was super easy and I'm excited to install it tomorrow!

I now have several thousand miles on my pre-production CSF intercooler and remain 100% satisfied with it. Looking forward to beating it up on track again April 22nd at Putnam.

original post updated. picked up the washers from CSF, and spoke to Ravi about the whole ordeal. He was really cool about it and i'm really appreciative that they're supplying these washers to those of us who ask for it.

Has anyone noticed an increase in lag with basic bolt-ons? I am interested in getting this but am concerned.

Can you post a pic of the CSF IC installed? Curious to see what it looks like with the stencil behind the front bumper.

No noticeable turbo lag.

I have a stage one VF Engineering hex tune, CTS turbo intake and full dinan cat-back exhaust.

I just ordered the CTS intake, and VRSF Charge pipes along with the Intercooler. Plus I also already have the Fabspeed HFC and Dinan Resonator delete and JB+ ( going to do a tune eventually just not sure what yet). I am super excited. Congrats on your build I can't wait to do mine for the spring, I love it.
