What's wrong with Autrey/BMP?
I know George from BMS has posted fondly about the Wagner IC. Even though its a tube and fin, its a pretty solid intercooler with low pressure drop.

Our own forum data shows it beating the pants off a stock R's intercooler.

I have to agree if we are talking about an IS20 car. The Wagner is too big IMO.

I am looking at getting the i.e intercooler and will be running an is38 i was looking over some stuff oblivious had posted on cfms and sizing your ic and I would have to agree that it's seems the Wagner seems a bit large for is20 but it should be good for the is38 now my question is do you all think the i.e might be small for the is38. I like i.e and all there products but I'm looking for a proper set up to reduce some stress off the is38. I do how ever like the Wagner also and have heard nothing but good things from it. If the Wagner is better suited for the is38 I'll get that one plus I live in Arizona when the summer is in the 120's.

OP would be Oblivious and he doesn't have a Golf R. If you are saying Mabotech guy thinks it is worse than Golf R IC on a Golf R then I can't comment, have not seen enough data.

I mean the poster who shared his new Wagner IC on the facebook group had a Golf R, and the mabotech came in saying Wagner is worse than stock Golf R intercooler. He talked up all this data but still hasn't shared it, and just ditched the thread.

CTS turbo FMIC
Got a FMIC from CTS turbo
Install was way more complicated than expected as the mounting brackets can not be put behind the crash bar as there isn't enough space, I'm in Mexico and maybe the rest of the world GTIs have different dimension than in the USA, I emailed CTS and their reply was they haven't seen this
Anyway the FMIC was installed and here is a comparison vs the stock intercooler, 3rd gear run , ambient temp 19C on both runs, blue line shows boost, green stock intercooler, red CTS FMIC
The car has a stage 1 tune, and I'm at an altitude of 1500m

The conditions had to be a little different for these runs, or the stock IC wouldn't start out 16c higher. Regardless, it is the trough to peak that matters and the stock IC went up 11c while the CTS went up only 5c. So it's twice as good as stock at cooling.

How heavy is the cts core on that fmic kit? A rough estimate will work too.
