Stainless Steel is less costly than aluminum and slightly easier to work with. Parts manufactured in the U.S. will tend to be more expensive. Turbohoses R&D

IAT was 5 degrees more from our IC to the stock IC at the last run. Not too bad. Yes, absolute operating conditions will change things considerably. However, these tests were done consistantly and driving the vehicle would be another test, done another way which will net other results. Our...

Ordering a core isn't the problem. "If" there were a pre-made end tank with everything we needed for our SMIC, then our price would be much different. Most applications have end tanks that can be purchased and made fairly easily which will considerably bring down the fabrication time. We've...

Heat soaking isn't the problem, engine operating temperature is. The third run will put you up in 225 d. f. range. The price tag is based on fabrication time, not material. A FMIC can be purchased as a generic unit with pre-made end tanks and brackets. Because the SMIC will require custom...

Ambient air temp. and the engine temperature were the main cause of the car detonating. This happened during our third run, which can/does happen during "dyno" testing. Depending on the ECU and Knock sensor, there may be a range that our tests strained the system. However, the answer is...

Hopefully we are reading this correctly. A "gain" by how many runs? Unless these tests are done with the same format, they are not the same test, which will net entirely different results. We test our own, custom and OEM intercoolers almost daily and have never found a "gain" by the end of...

Our tests were done with pump gas here (91 octane). Hopefully our customer's have higher octane where they reside. Turbohoses R&D

If someone can provide me with pics., I'll have a good idea of basic demensions. Turbohoses R&D

We've thought of that. Including myself and everyone here, I don't think we're smart enough to set it up for the internet and make it work correctly. Turbohoses R&D

The difference from one intake to another is probably minimal. However, our first tests were done with normal intakes that do not use AirRams and we found spool up to be slightly better but less hp than what we were able to make with the AirRam. A regular intake may/may not get you gains worth...

The demensions of our competitors cores/sizes are more than likely different, which will make a difference in the flow rate. Basically, this is not a apples to apples comparison, considering that there are differences in the core, size, testing etc.. Turbohoses R&D

Our estimate is based on what we "think" our production, R&D etc... will cost and we only finished a few days ago. There still maybe something more that we can do and there needs to be room for us to raise/lower our prices. However, as it stands today, 220.00 is our target price. Since, we...

Our estimated price is 220.00. Turbohoses R&D

Our pipes were used with the OEM ic during the tests. Turbohoses R&D

The other two have yet to be taken. It's best to contact us directly. Turbohoses R&D

3 out of the 5 kits have already been reserved by a few of the locals and one not so local. Our next set will be middle Oct. Turbohoses R&D

We can not speak for the CS Intercooler, it is not our product and we did not test it. Remember, our tests were done with our piping which is aluminum, the cooler air temp. "maybe" one reason. Flow characteristics are another case, again, I can not comment for the CS intercooler. Turbohoses R&D

Our dyno sheet has proprietory information and therefore I can not show a copy of our sheet on the internet. We will only post results. However, some of our local customers have seen the sheet in person. If you are in our area, give us a call and we'll be glad to let you view the sheet...

The power increase began at 3000 rpm to 5800rpm. The HP curve for the stock IC was fairly shakey between 3300 to 4500 and again at 5200-5700. The upgraded IC had a slightly better hp curve from 3300 to 3900. The upper end was EXTREMELY smooth compared to the OEM curve. Note: Stock IC -...
