Intercooler - who does this type of installation?

[Retired in TN]

I bought a Whipple IC. It will have it installed with my Deavers+1 once the springs get here. So many have prioritized an IC that I consider it a safe bet.

Steve Eaton owns Destination Offroad in Sevierville, TN. He also runs TORR (The Off Road Revolution) Raptor run company. We partner with him for all kinds of things. His shop does great work if you're looking for a Raptor specific shop in TN.

I did a bit of research before settling on the Wagner German made intercooler that fits in the OEM location, from what I found out this one offers the most air surface without going with a non-OEM fit, and the quality and build are amazing. My buddy and I did the installation instructions were horrible and it’s a bit challenging.

The only thin i don’t like about the wagner is it is a tube/fin intercooler instead of bar/plate like the garrett’s etc.

Interesting. How does that effect the overall intercooler performance?

Bar/plate is generally more efficient, much stronger (can handle rocks/debris much better) and can handle higher boost - they are also heavier than tube/fin. Don't get me wrong, I think the wagner unit is a good unit and I know they know what they are doing. Car radiators are usually tube/fin design and it is more associated with liquid cooling than air to air heat exchangers.
