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

[Slow jams]

Tork did a great review on AP intercooler very surprised...

Holy smokes! Thats better than I thought. I may go this route if the mishimoto intercooler gets delayed again. Unless the mishimoto is somehow substantially better. That said, I'm not trying to break records with this car so a 0.05 second improvement isn't worth paying double haha.

 

[Mr. Tech]

Just saw this from Mishimoto's testing. Note the 50 degree drop in outlet temps compared to the stock intercooler. The agency power gave a 30 degree drop in the tork test... granted, different test environments and tork didn't do repeat stress tests, but still. It does look like the Mishimoto is considerably better if all the numbers are accurate.

If you're looking to spend $1K+, right now I'd probably look at Wagner..

But the Wagner is much larger and I'm pretty sure it requires modifying the car to install (cutting sections off or something to that affect). I'm also concerned that an intercooler that big will slow down turbo spool because of a reduced air velocity. I'll have to look more into it. Thanks for the suggestion though

I think they fixed the issues with rev 1 that didn't fit as well on the US models.

Good to know! Thanks!

I went with the Agency Power. I had to trim about 2” off the bottom of the fan shroud (both sides). Other than that is was a really easy install. I haven’t noticed any difference in the spool times.

When tork did his performance video it showed I believe 20 more horsepower at the top end... Couldn’t be happier with mine

Damn, august delivery? Guess I should have assumed that much. Sounds like it will be a late July presale, rather than early.

Regardless, my wallet is ready.

I feel you. My wallet is ready too. I really want their whole intercooler kit.

Well it's officially July. Any day now

That graph still tells me that the stock intercooler is working very very well and the benefit versus cost is not worth it for most people.

Only benefit would be for someone who is racing their car around a track.

You’re 100% correct the stock intercooler is good but if you wanna run to a track that’s where you wanna upgrade your intercooler... Tork Even did a full breakdown and showed exactly where the intercooler helped out at the top End Roughly 20 more horsepower with the AP intercooler...At the end of the day get what you want or don’t but I think all these numbers are the same just from all the videos I’ve seen

 

[Tim Johnson]

my credit card has been waiting patiently but i'm losing hope....maybe ill wait a couple more weeks then move onto another option

 

[cncBilly]

No problem! We're still aiming for a July presale launch and August delivery. Just keep an eye on this thread and I will be posting the presale link up in here!

Do we know price range on this yet?

 

[Mr. Tech]

Do we know price range on this yet?

Last I knew it was between $1000 and $1200 for the early adopters. Then it goes up from there.
