Sounds awesome! VF is sending me both the stage1 and stage 2 maps. I may just use the stage 1 map until I get the VRSF charge pipes and CSF intercooler installed... and then flash to the stage 2 tune. I’m trying to get my FabSpeed Sport Cat Downpipe installed ASAP

The sound of the Fabspeed sport cat is amazing! Definitely a solid plan waiting on stage 2. My thinking was to drag out the mods over as long of a period as I could possibly take and figured stage 1 was plenty for the winter!

He had 1 more black intercooler allocated, he's a dealer of mine who had been allowed to reserve 5 intercoolers - not bs.

Not trying to get in trouble here but shouldn't the forum rules reminder be for the OP in the thread below instead of the CSF?

It’s a shame CSF doesn’t give us the appropriate hardware for mounting... especially when the product is otherwise so good.

Installed the CSF a couple weeks ago. It looks great and fit surprisingly well for its massive size. However its size may also be its weakness, it definitely creates a bit of turbo lag, small but noticeable over the factory fmic. But once its pressurized it feels great, and the pressurization seems to hold better between shifts on the manual.
I'm going to stick with it since I already bought and installed it, but if i had to do it all over again i probably would go with the vrsf street IC.

Installing this now. Were anyone's bolts too long? Mine won't go in all the way which creates a significant gap between the washer and the intercooler. There's no way it can be secure.
