Intercooler for BM3 Stage 2 on N26

Hey everyone, I'm planning to switch my stage 1 setup to stage 2 (328i N26 2016). Currently running with injen air intake, ftp charge/boost pipe and bootmod3 stage 1 93 oct.

So, the main question is which intercooler will work with bm3 stage 2 93 oct best? From what i researched, VRSF 6.5 and Wagner 2 evo comp doing enough statistics on dyno. But VRSF 6.5 is cheaper than Wagner.

Which FMIC do you think I should go with? Thanks!

I'm planning on an intercooler and charge/boost pipes for stage 2 soon. I would like to get see some opinions for an intercooler also. BM3 stage 1 93oct now with intake, downpipe and axle back exhaust.

I recommend the MAD race intercooler, it's the best value FMIC on the market, in my opinion, and it's on sale all month.

I couldn't found any good reviews about Mad intercooler. Could you share any dyno test or customer feedback?

We got a few customer reviews on our website that you can check.

I also created a thread across various forum sections; take a look at the N55 section, which is particularly active with feedback on the race intercooler.

This intercooler boasts a large size, a high-density core for optimal cooling efficiency, precise fitment, and comes with a lifetime warranty—all at a price that's hard to match. It's designed to deliver all that you could seek from an intercooler.

Not looking to start another intercooler debate but:

I’ve had a positive experience with the unit offered by ARM. Fitment and build quality are on point. Clearly an upgrade in cooling performance over stock…
