We will run the GB til March 1st, wherever the final price falls we will refund the difference between price paid/final group buy price in a paypal refund.

[TurboBullett@Ambient Thermal Management]

Guys we are getting things together and will start shipping within a few days. If you are in the USA or Canada please pay in full plus shipping(minus your $100 deposit), remember 2009+ cars need the J-pipe so you will pay the $45 higher price in parentheses and also please note your model year I the PayPal memo. Once these ship out via UPS you will recieve tracking info to the email address PayPal was paid through!

Thanks for the orders and looking forward to your reviews.

Europe-$135
Australia-$180

just a minor update to the original post. Added the CSVs for each log, link should be above the graph for each pull.

For comparison sake here's a log of my car running e70 and jb4 map5 with the stock IC. As you can see I badly need one of these intercoolers!

Thats a 45F degree rise on a 3rd gear pull.

Here's a 2-3 pull after letting the car idle for a while (reason for higher ambient temp I think the IC was soaked).

That's a 54F degree rise!

Also installed the kit over the weekend. Installation was a breeze and fitment was pretty spot on with very minor trimming on a 1M rep bumper

Here's some pics i took before the install. The kit is very well built. Had the guys at the shop drooling at the quality of it.

[TurboBullett@Ambient Thermal Management]

We are really happy everyone is having a positive experience with our products, we really do attempt to go above and beyond in our designs. And please don't forget to remove the white decals there is a really nice polished logo underneath

seems like you had to do a lot of cutting or is it just me? how is it now?

The cutting is extremely minimal when installing on the 135i and only required near the air temp sensor. On the 3 series no cutting is required. Technically I didnt even cut, just shaved a notch using my dremel. Very easy if you take your time.

The minor shaving on the plastic support is something I decided to do/try out and is not required.

cool man, glad you took the plunge for the rest of us folks

it was a toss up for me between ETS VRSF and now this one..

I think I may end up going w/ this one

I have ER charge pipe too, no issues getting that to work w/ that IC?

[houtan]

Not at all. Fitment was spot on.

Keep in mind, fitment is completely based on the installer. Here are a few pics of how my j-pipe lined up with my ER charge pipe. hope this helps.

[houtan]

added pics of chargepipe fitment to the post before this
