Can anyone direct me to info showing the difference between IE v1 and IE V2 intercoolers? Is this upgrade worth the effort?

I didn't need to dremel my radiator/IC plastic shroud when installing v2 (supposedly it's a requirement for v1; probably some improvements to mounting/fitment).

Okay, I thought there may be performance improvements. When I was purchasing I saw that unitronic had better performance than IE, but The IE part was available at the time, and the unitronic one was not.

There are performance increases but it's not worth another $~300 + tearing apart your cooling stack again. And even if you were to do that the APR unit would be a better purchase.

I suggest you include asking 1) why and 2) can you explain your reasoning, unless you are just looking for opinions.
