I would think it will make a slight difference at low rpm, but not a 20WKW difference as claimed!

I'm willing to try it :thumbup:
Just need to find the time to do so... (not anytime this year...)

35 degree day

STATIONARY dyno test

re-dyno WITH forced airflow .... off course it will help.



Will this help "at speed" ? ? ?



pito tube to measure the airflow over the intercooler is the only way to CONFIRM what happens "at speed" ...
