hey, is it a big dif between the stock intercooler and the ets 3.25 intercooler?

thank you.

 

[Mistersix]

yeah man nice dif with the ets. it was the second mod i did after intake, and i still noticed a seat of pants difference. side by side, the stock piece looks down right wimpy.

i would imagine if one already had some exhuast mods, there'd be an even bigger difference. but since i'm still on the stock exhuast, theres still flow restrictions on the out goin side.

its worth the money for sure, specially if you can find one used. install was fairly easy too. if your thinkin bout it man, go for it!!!!!

I just did an upgrade to a FMIC, I think the turbo is next year. How is the tuning going? what do you use?

theres some other members askin bout FMIC setups on another thead. you should drop a line on your set up if you havent already.

Hey great write-up! Did you replace all of the gaskets (manifold-block, manifold-turbo, turbo-exhaust)? I'm assuming these should not be reused. What extra hardware/parts/tools should I aim to have ahead of time?
