Push start button took priority

The end tanks are made in China and the rest is assembled and coated in the US.

My main outstanding issue is around clearance for the whiteline strut brace. It looks like it would be tight.

Check out some pics of one fitted here but without a brace.

I should also add...that I would be surprised if Process West end tanks were made in Australia.

Shoot Kev an email and find out for yourself.

Kev would still be claiming to be finding the time to prove the results he promised 6 years ago!

I'm with you on the PW stuff, the TMIC on my V6 is like a big heater core, after a few runs it gets so hot.

I also had one on my Spec C, I took it off and put the original intercooler back on due to same issue.

Do the Math

I have a large hyperflow IC, and not found this. Yes I did find the temp started high and then rose again when i parked, but during a run it cooled quite nicely, and not by using the intercooler water sprayer. I still have the manual push button and I'm usually to busy to use it.

The temps I'm looking at is the inlet temps recorded on my datalogger and not touching the ic after a run. I haven't compared this to a standard ic.

Enjoy your shitter cooler.

If any improvements are made it will be via tuning and not due to the massive heat sink you are sticking on top of your engine.

Amusing is how this intercooler is 55mm thinner than the STI unit. But a lot fatter to absorb all that heat in the bars.

It would be a good exercise to flow test both units and get flow rates and pressure drops for comparison.
