hahah
2 weeks i think cuz they had to send the manifold to get coated.

 

Mine is getting coated as we speak!... Well maybe not this exact moment... But got my piping back yesterday, so hoping to get my turbo and mani back soon...

 

ya u got the chrome coating on charge pipes ?
i didnt wanna spend the extra cash on that cuz i had them make dump tube which cost extra and a vacuum block which was extra. but the charges with chrome are sick looking.

 

Yea they're "sex" as Paul puts in... Which I look at it as the definition of! ;)... They are really awesome looking... But they don't look to good wrapped in bubble wrap... Probably a whole lot better in an engine bay!...

 

hah exactly, just trying to imagine my car with a FMIC makes me get goosebumps

 

I know what you mean... Ive had my car for less than 3 months, and it's undergoing a huge change...

 

dang thats fast.... imagine waiting 2 years lol sufferage

 

I couldnt do it...

 

hah i never thought it wud happen
anyway ima go out GL with everything bro

 

Alright, you too!... I'll have some better pics of the piping up tomorrow or Sunday!

 

Nothing compared to the one fella with 200 miles on an 08 we turbo'd

 

im def gonna be gettin this kit b4 june..btw id just like to add that dezods intercooler is bigger then tt's

 

Doesn't mean a thing........as Paul would say.....the use of "balanced" parts is critical to the performance of the kit.

Bigger isn't always better...there is a time and a place for it.

things to consider....efficiency of the core...pressure drop across the core. Especially whe you are trying to acheive that "balance"

Both of our standard cores work....we use them for a reason. Could we use better cores?

Of course...but it keeps the costs down for the end users. Especially on low boost applications.

Enjoy your bigger intercooler

I will thanks

 

Actually...

Now that I think of it.

There intercooler would have to be larger.

They are using stainless steel chargepipes which don't have the same thermo properties as aluminum. They retain heat more.

To achieve the same end results they would need a larger core to compensate for the higher heat

Just some 411

o shiettt

 

Todd is correct in the fact that bigger is not better with respect to the intercooler. Our cooler has about a 1/2 psi pressure drop at the 8-15 psi range from our testing. A larger core made from the same material was tested by a 1000whp 3.8l buick gn and tested only 1.5 psi pressure drop on about 40 psi.

Anyway, there are quite a few changes that our kits will be undergoing for the better for the end customer. Right now I am not at liberty to say anything bout the changes, but once I am allowed to expect a huge post.

 

o crap... did i order at the wrong time paul?

 

I'm glad I made a dumb comment..I learned a lot of info

 

Lol... So, I was rubbing my pipe earlier... :-D
