Scavenger Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 A lot of times, I think that when we say "butt dyno", it is really the "ear dyno", for instance, opening the intake on the R53 gives you more supercharger "whine", but doesn't necessarily equate to a large (or any) power improvement. The sound of the whine adds to the sensation though and kind of tricks you into thinking you're accelerating faster.

RichSperry Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 I installed an Alta. No issues at all. No lag, 2-3F difference between aimbient and intake air temp. Jan tune and about 16 psi. Works for me. No matter where you go, there you are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micron Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 This is what the stock intercooler looks like from an 09 mcs. This is the first pic I've seen of the stock fmic. Thanks for posting! I can't believe how tiny it is!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
