Afaik no one has ever done a comparison test. HPF is the shiniest, AA has a cool Darth Vader look, Helix is really big, ETS is drop-in, Dinan has the least pressure drop (or did at one point).

I have Wagner. Nicely built and bolt-on. Looks OEM. Works well with my tuned car on the track.
The price is not bad either. http://www.wagner-tuning.de/EN/produ...ntercooler.php |

Ok helix and Wagner Are similar and good fitment. Is not a problem for cut ... what bothers me is the restrictive plastic front which surrounds the intercooler .. I am looking for an intercooler which occupies maximum space available in front Anyone use activeautowerks? Is big and the front plastic too P.s yes... Is a really ultimate driving machine |

442 ps/712 nm/308 km/h...and you are still with stock intercooler?!
What else is stock I wonder now. How and why? And be quick...ETS, Helix, Forge, choose one and install it before something undesired happens to your engine. Please tell us what you did to the car also. |

Yes stock intercooler...
It s not a problem in winter and for short race time, but in long race or highway the air intake temperature is so high. This is the problem with stock intercooler |

We are running a PWR intercooler in our 1M, we will be extracting IAT data this week after the races on the weekend. This will give us an indication of just how good it is. It bolts into standard position.
