[QUOTE="jgree32, post: 1389080, member: 23813"] Been on the sidelines waiting to get into the mod/tune game until an affordable intercooler upgrade was available. I saw Jason@CVF post on the forums recently and decided to give it a go. Initial Impressions: Most dramatic thing to me was the weight vs the OEM part. The CVF had a noticeable heft to it in comparison. All welds looked solid and inside of end tanks appeared smooth. Fin pack had a nice staggered fin design [GALLERY=media, 14382]IMG_20190824_103047 by jgree32 posted Aug 27, 2019 at 9:23 PM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 14381]IMG_20190824_102947 by jgree32 posted Aug 27, 2019 at 9:22 PM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 14379]IMG_20190824_091204 by jgree32 posted Aug 27, 2019 at 9:22 PM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 14378]IMG_20190824_091149 by jgree32 posted Aug 27, 2019 at 9:22 PM[/GALLERY] Install: While no installation instructions were provided it was a relatively straight forward install. I followed some youtube videos of other stock location ICs. I did remove the shrouding around the stock shutter system. While ive seen comments stating the fans on the IC must go back on with the intercooler I was able to fit the IC and connect all hoses and then mount the fans. One difference vs some other ICs is the stock cold side piping to charge pipe must be removed and replaced with a single elbow vs the clip on joint(pictured below) [GALLERY=media, 14380]IMG_20190824_101758 by jgree32 posted Aug 27, 2019 at 9:22 PM[/GALLERY] Hoses and diverter valve transferred over and ready to install! [GALLERY=media, 14383]IMG_20190827_192155_932 by jgree32 posted Aug 27, 2019 at 9:23 PM[/GALLERY] I would recommend leaving the cold side piping loose to allow you to twist the hose into the correct orientation to mate with the stock charge air piping. Performance: I didnt expect the butt dyno to notice much difference being i did the comparison on the stock tune but i was pleasantly surprised. Boost seem to come on quicker and truck was noticeably more responsive. Logging: I did some logging the day prior with the stock FMIC and tried as best i could to recreate same condition with the CVF part. In each case i did 2 pulls spaced about a minute apart. Temperature on day of stock run: 91 degrees CVF run: 95 degrees Both logs were trimmed to be on the same timeframe for comparison. 4th gear pull from 30mph to 80mph Results across 4th gear pull were: Stock Charge Air Temp 111deg start and 151deg end CVF Charge Air Temp 122deg start and 127deg end So we're looking at a 35deg improvement in temp rise from start to end of a single pull! Noting the 4degree increase in temperature on the day I logged the CVF would put the delta at ~39degrees basically in line with the logs on the CVF site.
