Intercoolers
What are you guys running and how did they fit? Any installations problems? Could you use the air scoop/shroud with them?
IC air scoop

The shroud does not fit with the ER IC, but how much cooling is lost on that account can only be a guess.

How much that impacts cooling not sure. The ATM cooled as good as the Wagner. I did not try - nor do i plan on trying - the ER fmic. Let me know how things go. |

Ill go do some duty bias dial-in later today so will see how it does with a lot of back to back 4th gear pulls.

The intercooler is not quite a solid block of metal though, and a certain percentage of the FMIC lets the air through it. Now, if the opening in the front of the intercooler is exactly as many percentages of the intercooler frontal area, as is the percentage of "holes" in FMIC through which the air travels, the cooling will be maximized and no air turns back to be as a ceiling for new fresh air. All the direct flow air does not fit though the FMIC directly due to the solid parts of the FMIC and is pushed up (+down+sides). Ducts on the edges of the FMIC will force the air though the FMIC. Otherwise part of the air entering from the opening can still be lost if it gets around the FMIC. |

That might be the case but my new IC still lowered my IAT with +30°F without the shroud compared to stock.
