3.3TT Mishimoto's Stinger GT Intercooler Kit R&D Thread

[usafonz]

Shipped! Now praying the UPS Gorillas don’t smash it like everything else I get from them and Fedex.

Fedex managed to damage a Thai bag I just got shipped and those are designed to get beat up. They saw that and thought “challenge accepted”

Shipped as well. I think the way mishi packs everything we should be alright. I remember my last order came with plenty of protection

I can sympathize. I had brown damage a $5k pair of speakers. Apparently, they couldn’t read the numerous markings And arrows that read, “this side up”.

I think they read just fine, just 0 Fs given.

At first, I read that as "damage a $5k pair of sneakers" and I was just like "I can't even" on multiple levels

Lol, I also read it "sneakers"

 

[Mr. Tech]

Mine comes tomorrow. I'll try to get some pictures for you guys. Anything you want to see specifically? I feel like the Mishimoto site already has all the pics in pretty good detail.

 

[Mishimoto]

For some reason i got 2 order confirmation emails. But no shipping email. I sent a PM but no response just yet.

Sorry for the delay getting back to you, I'm responding now!

How is the fin density vs the stock intercooler?

Don't know,never looked at the stock one.i would have today but it was pouring when this one showed up.

Mine is installed. Ill post a full write up about the install and post pics tomorrow / today. A couple quick notes.

1. It does fit with Injen intakes but its pretty freaking close. I would be concerned if you have the Johnny Tig intakes.
2. I made an assumption that the WMI bung would be pre-tapped for 1/8 NPT. It is not, so if you want to to use the bung you will have to tap it your self (I did). All in all I am very happy. More details later...got to get some sleep now.

Awesome! Did you have to drill a hole in the bung and then tap? Or just tap it?

You will have to drill it out. 11/32 bit then 1/8 NPT tap for threads.

Thanks! Very useful info.

I have JTs.... How concerned should I be?

I have JTs.... How concerned should I be?

Won't know for sure until you test fit but I have less than a fingers width between my intake tube and the charge pipe. You may be fine. I'll say a prayer for you.
