vrsf 7.5"?
hi, im relatively new to the boost game, so excuse me if i sound like a noob lol
so ive got an '11 n55 car, planning on purchasing an FMIC in the spring, and considering the VRSF 7.5" stepped right now I've got a JB4, vrsf chargepipe and vrsf catless dp. looking to pick up an intake, fmic, and get some dyno tuning, and was hoping to make 400whp or close to. in the next few years hoping to go maybe pure stage 2 or something, but for the time being, is the 7.5" overkill? |

the 7.5" competition is a perfect option for Full bolt on cars like yours or cars with stage 2 turbo

Which intercooler do you recommend for a car that will have charge pipe, intercooler & tune (Dinan)?
How much difference does adding an exhaust actually make on the above? |

The exhaust does not add much power, its purely for sound and weight savings

Thanks for the quick reply. Looking at your site the price on the VSRF is pretty good. Any recommendation for the CP? Sort of thinking VSRF for both to keep it simple.

mike@x-ph, when making a recommendation for intercoolers, what variables are you considering for which applications? With so many options between both vendors (VSRF, Wagner, et al.) and configurations within a particular vendor (EVO I, II, III, e al.), what are the most important factors to consider when making a decision?
It seems, and please correct me if i'm off base, that target power (measured in HP? should we be measuring with something else) and application (track vs street) seem to be the most important variables. What else should we be considering? Where are the borders between applications i.e. when making the decisions go from a EVO I to an EVO II or EVO III, what tips the scale to larger? What are the penalties for over sizing the intercooler? |

Lots of factors need to be considered. Here a few of them: - How much power the car is making - How often is it tracked? - Driving habits of the driver - budget - and most importantly, what is the customer's goal from getting a new intercooler? Typically, when going with a larger intercooler, you risk getting a turbo lag. That being said, if the intercooler is designed correctly, you can get a larger size core without any increase in pressure airdrop. Wagner released data on their different intercoolers vs. stock showing that they perform better than the stock unit while still maximizing core volume

recommendation on intercooler size
I have a 2009 135i with JB4 running map 5, 40% E85/93 octane. I don't plan on doing DP or exhaust.
5" stepped or 7.5" HD? I don't race it. i am taking it to a 1/4 mile day in May with a group. |

Hi I have a 2009 135i n54 running mhd stage 2+
Can you recommend a Fmic for me? I'm currently running a MTC fmic but it is junk! Seeing my IATS climbing way more than I would like. Any recommendations appreciated. |

I got my car with the ATM unit fitted. MHD Stage 2+, plan on upgrading twins and staying in the low 500s whenever the stockers decide to head out. Are there any inter coolers that will perform any better than what I’ve got?

Im not familiar with brands locally available in the UK, I recommend you get the brand you like from a US dealer with reasonable shipping. Quote:
I recommend a 7"+ intercooler for upgraded turbos.
