Kinda late to ask for reviews on a product you already ordered. I went with ZZP there intercooler is all around great.

TR8 is a really good intercooler, I got one when my stock one finally gave. Advice from me though is watch the 2 elbows, they look like perfectly square but they each have a slightly shorter side to them which is the side to go in to the charge pipe, after that, fit is perfect, looks nice, and you get free stuff by taking a pic and putting on their facebook.

The only tip I can offer is be prepared to bend the mounting tabs it comes with as it will not sit close enough to the car in most cases without bending them. I have the TR10 and that's really my only gripe. Otherwise, it's a pretty quality piece.

I believe CudaJoe made a How To. You should check that out.

I have been tuned for like 25k and the Tr8 is rock solid. I run either a 23psi 91 tune or a 26psi e47 tune. Just make sure you get the clamps tight... I forgot one once, it blew of at 26psi and it scared the sweet bebe jebus out of me

break in period? ummm nope, I beat on the **** as soon as the car was back together. The TR8 and ZZp and all other aftermarket intercoolers are all metal. bolt it up and make sure your clamps are tight then hammer it and make sure it holds

Just watched the vid of you vs the SRT-4.

Saw a comment where someone said their SRT-4 keeps up with bolted Z06's to which someone replied... "keep up with bolt on zo6's with a stock turbo srt-4?Give me some of the majestic pixie dust you sprinkle on your engine so my cobalt can keep with ferraris please."

Sort of made my day.

Thaaats not my car. I don't remember racing any SRT4s... Its probably Drewbroo. He had a coupe and a sedan. both on ethanol, both very quick and he is a damn good driver. If you want a different video let me know. Right now its the borla only. Otherwise its 3 inch pipe all the way back

Nice. I wonder if the 12 and 10 have to remove the crash bar still?
