+1. If stock connectors was a requirement, I would get the Wagner.

If it is not a requirement, I would get the ATM intercooler which should be good with stock or upgraded turbo ( http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1069879 ) or if cutting a lot wasn't an issue and I was Ps2 I would consider the monster VRSF intercooler because the iat reduction is awesome ( http://www.n54tech.com/forums/showth...612#post520612 ).

Looks like Active Autowerke is having a sale on their intercooler -- $429 before shipping. I believe that has factory connectors, and only requires two small cuts for installation. Might be worth considering.

Dyno is set for 3/11@ 9am

Wait a minute. Hold up. So with your custom tune and near stock car, you're boosting over 20psi on a stock Turbo? Wow...wonder how that feels....I rarely hit 14psi on map 5 with e30-50

It hits HARD and I love it, pretty crazy tho. My VRSF 5 inched stepped is going in as we speak also

velociti · 03-01-2017, 07:46 AM

Nice. Curious to hear impressions. My AA intercooler is coming today, but it'll be a week or two before I'm able to install it. Can't wait to see the dyno, by the way. We have nearly identical setups and both on a 93 oct Wedge tune. Would love to see 340/400 to the wheels, but I'm guessing that might be optimistic.

Me too, I know it just pulls, Its hard to compare it my 314 WHP G37X, but that's why I'm doing the dyno,

An before anyone asks ,yes same dyno and just about the same time of year. Seems I', always dynoing in the March or April, LOL I make all my changes in the winter time

So no intercooler, shop said it doesn't fit and they gave up.

They may need to trim. Did you tell them that or show them an install guide? Did VRSF provide an install guide?

It's so pretty and monstrous though

Can you provide a little more detail? Maybe we can help you help them understand what they are misssing.

ANMVQ · 03-01-2017, 02:33 PM

no instructions, no washers, the charge pipe looks wrong, the silicone pipe hit the fan shroud, the intercooler will not sit back far enough to clear. Shop watched multiple vids and read post , they just said nothing looks right

Boosted2000Si · 03-01-2017, 02:37 PM

Have you contacted VRSF?

orteeze · 03-01-2017, 02:42 PM

I still had to trim so that my 5" stepped fit right.

ANMVQ · 03-01-2017, 02:50 PM

Sounds like you need a new shop... They probably need to trim the bumper and it sounds like they have the CP on backwards.

ANMVQ · 03-01-2017, 03:05 PM

Just sent them an email

ANMVQ · 03-01-2017, 03:30 PM

Tiago has been good talk to him now VIA email. So we'll see.

ANMVQ · 03-01-2017, 04:05 PM

So Tiago, offered to install it for me tomrrow but he is no where near me as I'm in Woburn during the week. Saturday we wouldn't do :/. So going to Bavarian Performance Group they are in Winchester

houtan · 03-01-2017, 06:36 PM

Sounds like the shop you went to has never installed an intercooler on an n55. As long as the shop you go to has installed one in the past, you should be fine.

Man, I can't wait until bench flashes are available for my ECU! Good luck!!
