If so, I would like to hear what you think of the performance/installation/build quality. If you have any pictures of the unit fitted and installation that would be a bonus.

Many thanks in advance.
If you don't mind cutting into the core support of your 1M, this is not a bad intercooler.

Although installing the IC without any tuning may or may not net you any power gains. The HPF's unit is not only deeper, but also slightly taller and may not allow an easy install of the engine under tray.

7" unit may be an overkill for the street driven 1M anyway. You will notice more throttle lag with or without a tune. The "M" button does help get some of the throttle reponse back though. Smaller units, like the 5" from ETS will keep the throttle lag to a mimimum and still give good performance to just over 400 WHP, which is really good and reliable.
