That is why when you go for a bigger IC you should always get a tune otherwise the pressure drop will cause the power response and power delivery to be less than satisfactory. |

I think there's been a bit of confusion on what pressure drop means here. What Karmic Man is talking about is the added volume of an aftermarket intercooler and piping. If we add volume to a closed pressurized system, the pressure is reduced, but engines are open systems so they behave a bit differently. With an open system, the larger volume just means it will take more time to reach the same pressure as before. This means that the car will feel a bit less responsive compared to stock, but it's likely very minimal and some people might not even notice. The Dinan website is talking about the flow pressure drop across the intercooler, which is a measure of how restrictive a flow component is. The Dinan fmic is less restrictive because it has less of a pressure drop.

I use the AD-E 650hp intercooler which is a much larger volume than stock, more than double. I did not notice any increase in lag when it was installed and was running the same map. Looking at my logs before are after, there is also no difference in what I can see as the "lag time" from boost rise to acquiring target:
From inflection point when entering spool (obvious intersect just before 0 pressure) to inflection point where target boost is acquired (slope of boost curve inverts) is about 1.4 seconds for both, when going WOT at about 2k RPM. From my butt dyno, I can tell you it happens faster above 3k and feels instantaneous at 4k. Also look at the IAT's on these! Stock FMIC: http://www.datazap.me/u/bjymewa/log-...=0&data=0-3-15 AD-E FMIC (same tune): http://www.datazap.me/u/bjymewa/log-...=0&data=0-3-15 Current tune takes about 1.5 seconds to reach target during a similar pull, but is targeting a higher boost. http://www.datazap.me/u/bjymewa/log-...=1&data=0-2-15 Moral of the story: You won't notice the lag difference with any smaller unit. If you truly plan to stay on the stock tune, you have a world of options, and should be able to use something that requires no cutting and may even weigh less than stock. If you plan to track the car, any better FMIC will make a difference. I overwhelmed the stock unit running Cobb OTS stage 1 which is *barely* more aggressive than stock and pretty close to stock above 4k rpm where the car operates at the track. Intake temps were 80 degrees above ambient. I have a slightly detuned map from Buraq for the track which peaks at 17psi and tapers to 13psi up top. We'll see if that is conservative enough for the AD-E unit. The "650" number applies to street use and quarter mile pulls. A 20 minute track session is another matter entirely, which is why I wouldn't even try to run my standart tune (383whp) at the track despite being well under the FMIC's reported HP capacity. I hope that helps!

Here is the thread, my install pics are there. The bumper did not require any cutting, but the structure behind it did. I didn't do the work myself (ADE installed it) so it's hard to give a lot of details on that.
