I’m tempted to pull the trigger on IE’s V2 unit. Any reasons why I should wait for some real driving data and impressions to be published before I order?

1. You can probably find V1 used for a discount?
2. V1 has been out for years with "real driving data" and there's confusion about whether it works well or not.
3. Minor changes to the dimensions of an intercooler aren't going to produce large changes to the cooling.

Most of the data I’ve seen has looked pretty good and IE seems to be the “go to” recommendation by most people. Should I be looking at something else more closely? I know this topic gets pretty subjective lol.

You could probably throw a blanket over an IE, APR, AMS, or Uni, pick one, and get basically the same results. FMIC? Baun. /splitting hairs.

Your FMIC data looks just like the CTS fmic on our GTi; cools great at first but quickly runs out of capacity as you climb through the gears. I am a but surprised considering that the Threadstone core has good reputation.

I was surprised as well because the Treadstone core (TR8L) on the LT Motorsports FMIC is rated up to 575HP and I'm making no where near that.
