stock intercooler?

 

Yep sir! Change it b4 go boom! In my case it blew mile 30 of a 1000 mile road trip. It was not fun flooring it in 3rd gear just to do 75 mph up a little incline.

 

did u hit something

 

No, didn't hit anything. This is off a 70000 mile car that was tuned since 50000 miles on 24 psi e47 trifecta. Simply stepped on the gas to pass a car full boost and boom!!! Yay!

 

jb weld

 

friend did the same thing and blew off his lower pipe and he said it scared the crap out of him

 

Time to upgrade.

 

My crack is bigger

 

Dang

 

I'm at 100,000 miles and have had the GMS1 since 85K. OEM intercooler. Lucky I guess???

 

Stock inter coolers blow. Literally

 

I have that same tune with synapse turbos intercooler kit, there's no lost in spool or boost. It's currently for sale because i'm going to be purchasing a larger turbo in the future. So if you plan on sticking with the trifecta tune and are interested in a kit more reliable then stock send me a PM and i'll get back to you with pics and price.

 

Thanks, but I already ordered TR8 a week ago.

 

Mine looked exactly the same, except it was missing a large chunk.

 

Yours was a pretty minor explosion actually. My end-tank turned into shrapnel in an instant... and that was bone stock at the time.

 

Time for a Turbo XS intercooler.

 

Does it attach to the stock pipes?

 

Haha that sucks man, heard the bang is pretty damn loud.

I'll probably wait till my stock one goes boom before replacing it. If it ever does anyways. Just doesn't seem worth it to upgrade if you don't have to on the stock turbo.

 

lmao this ^^ so true

 

yessir. biggest intercooler you can get for this car i belive...bigger than hahn and zzp. you should get the charge pipes too though, i'm getting mine this week

 

theres a TR8 Ic for sale in the classifieds hit it up!!!

 

haha holy **** what year is yours? mine a 09 and i just barely passed 25k lol

I'll stop putting miles when I get my busa next year.
