Hey guys, planning on a BT after my warranty expires on my 2016 GTI....like the IE, but was curious if I will see any benefit running just my JB4 and BMS intake? Also, would dealership give me problems with warranty work having it installed? Obviously it's needed with bigger power levels, just not sure at this point on map 6 JB4 in a cooler climate? DP I will pry wait on, u til after warranty

I live in Vancouver , Washington. I ran stage 2 HT and maestro Eurodyne last summer and as soon as temps are 75ish or warmer...LOL. forget it. My car feels like its towing a lead sled. The difference between a cool night or day vs a warm sunny on the stock IC with being flashed is crazy. The ic cannot keep up. Im being 100% honest and straight up.
If you plan on running more boost than stock upgrade the IC. Bigger turbo? Upgrade the IC.

That's cool I spent most of my life in Vancouver - played ball at Mountain View HS - graduates in 2001

Dealers will give you shit, yes.

Look in the Intercooler Performance thread - I just linked like 4 logs comparing intercoolers, all taken in the last couple weeks in the Everett area.

You'll absolutely gain consistency across pulls even on stock turbo and JB4.

Even better, if you want to meet me anywhere in greater Seattle area (I'll go as far south as Tacoma), I will give you a ridiculous deal on a CTS fmic [emoji16]

Not to be a thread jacker, what are you looking for on the front mount?

Mabotech also seems to be well made from then very few pictures of it out there. A customer of mine almost got one, but $120 shipping is kinda crazy
I will provide as many pictures as I can based on requests. It's certainly well made, and much bigger than any other fmic on the market, except for maybe yours lol.
