I am probably going to get one but I was curious what gains you guys have recorded

 

No gains should be seen numerically, but the spool time is the same, and the car runs a LOT colder

 

I assumed since Hahn claimed 20hp gain all intercoolers had numerical gains.

 

The only way you're going to see an increase in power is if you also have your tune modified to take advantage of the cooler air. Just bolting the IC on by itself isn't going to change much power wise.

 

You only see those type of gains right after you install the mod, once the ecm figures out its reading more air it'll lower the power output back to stock.

 

assuming he is still stock. if he is tuned that doesnt apply

 

...can u tune for an intercooler...? I thought the colder denser air just made power for itself. I mean i dunno im just curious. im rockin MPx n LOVE it

 

Did it come with the MPx logo on the IC or did you paint it on?
I don't know if it's the angle of the pic with the bumper on but you can't really see it too good.

 

nah i painted it and then put the bumper on and went DAMN i should have painted it higher. **** it. lmao apparently u only see the TOP 1/4 of ur intercooler through ur grille.

 

Does this apply for GMS1? From what I understand it disables learndown. I know GMs1 doesn't compensate for mods, but still.

 

The letters came out good though.

GMS1 doesn't disable the learn down, it just raises it.

 

Well I know GMS1 just raises it, but that doesn't answer my question.

So will MPx do anything with GMS1 Tune?

 

Even if tuned the ecm sticks to the same hp level, you'll need to retune it to extract the gains from the mod.

 

with a intercooler it lowers your IAT witch in turn lower your chance of knock so you can run more timing.

 

you correct. ive had to retune my car everytime ive changed something

 

im loving the mpx intercooler, im just worried about how its not isolated..

 

oh so it just allows u to run more timing. makes sense.

 

The stock IC will handle anything you throw at it, unless you go with a bigger turbo setup , it will be money down the drain.IMHO

 

Some people on here have had problems with the plastic end tanks cracking on the stock one and needed a new one. Most of the aftermarket ones are somewhat cheaper than stock.

 

My stock IC was giving me a boost leak. must have been a pinhole. Stock IC is great sure but aftermarket is definitly beneficial. Its about packing the most cold air into the motor, sure stocker works good, but a more efficient and durable aftermarket for 399 is definitly beneficial and will help int he equation. Same thing goes for an intake, 400hp was made on the stock airbox. Do u need an intake? No, but its definitly beneficial. i was gonna go ZZP but it was taking forever and now looking at it i believe it may be too large for the stock baby turbo.

 

the stock IC doesnt do to well in 120+ degree weather like we have here in az

 

well then gtfo of AZ what u doing living in 120 degree weather. jeezus christ thats hot

 

ya the summers here are terrible but the winter and monsoon season are great

 

I'm goin mpx this wkend

 

sweet 2 year bump lol
