I went with the HKS because it’s tube and fin and it’s HKS and not PRL. Does it really matter, probably not. I want to think I’m like many that tracks no more than 10 times a year. It is a street car for the 365 days since I still have to drive to the track. We are all just doing a little here and there to better the cooling issue this platform has.

It's the IC I had ordered, but they are still 6 months on backorder, did you get yours already?

My plan is to grab whatever lightly used IC comes up for sale in the next few months And wait for everyone else to settle this debate once the new tube and fin models finally come out.

I was told I would get mine January/February.

RV6 coming out soon but no hardpipes, If I'm fitting a new IC, I want to do the pipes at thew same time to keep labor costs down

You're pretty much guaranteed a good intercooler as long as you choose a reputable brand. It doesn't really matter that you chose HKS or PRL like you said. The inherent problem that we won't be able to escape, unless Acuity puts their intake out, is that air really shouldn't be travelling directly above the super hot turbo. The problerm is also exacerbated by the water line that is directly behind the turbo as well.

HPS has a charge pipe kit that can be fitted to pretty much any intercooler. It's what I paired with my Airtec and I know of one car running the MDR intercooler that used it.

I emailed Aquity back in December about the status of their intake. I was told that they’re seeking CARB approval which is “a lengthy process”, in their words. They have no idea of when it will be released.

Should be quick with the current administration

They should just sell it to NON-CARB states in the mean time.

reached out to MDR and their intercooler weighs in at 29.5 pounds

Swap in a LiFePo lightweight battery and your weight remains the same lol
