Iaknown's intercooler install review

petey_highboost · 03-04-2016, 12:19 AM

Hello all, latest mod was Dave (iaknown)'s intercooler kit.
I ended up getting the helix core, very nice unit, didn't take any pics. Overall install went pretty smooth, one thing which could be improved is the sleeve (thicker material) so it's a little more durable.
Only trimming required was the lower lip of the front rad support. Other than that it was plug and play. Cooler fits nice, it's also nice to get rid of that leaky red hose! It also looks great in the grille, very hard to tell but if you know what your looking for you can see it. Very sleeper-ish

Performance wise, hard to tell a diff but it seems stronger on the top end but could also be in my head, I think it feels like maybe 20hp diff, but like I said almost hard to tell. On the torque app it logged 34psi ( unfortunately I don't have any before and after) I'll try and get back on the dyno next week but can't make any promises, but I will have results from the track on the 13th!

I'll get some pics for you guys tomm.

Thanks for the great product Dave!

that's the way to do it making it look LOW KEY so that you can scare the shit out of other racers. Great job IAKNOWN
