AMS Performance Intercooler unboxing+

Just sharing my AMS Performance Intercooler experience from unboxing to some stock comparison photos and then as things go along if there are any concerns later I will report back.

Install went without issue. Everything lined up well except a couple of plastic air shields needs to be trimmed a little bit. Perhaps "needed" is not the right word, I chose to trim them so there was no tension on these little shields but you could easily not trim them and you would likely never know the difference.

Disclaimer - I collected these video's and pictures to help others and not because this is something I "do". I apologize for poor quality or missing information.

Stock part comparisons: https://goo.gl/photos/gfTgpMHeidgAEVRf6

Even though the picture comparing the stock intake and output ports makes it look like the factory ports are larger - this is not the case, its just an optical illusion.

I will change the pictures to inline once I get them separately uploaded.

I installed this about 2 months ago got it straight from the middle east distributor, AMS's product is a work of art! my initial input is there is a slight lag at low RPM very minimal however IAT's stay very consistent you can especially tell if you are running a stage 2 map with no intercooler on track, you can actually feel the car getting slower lap after lap this intercooler fixes it all.
