It's a great upgrade to have once the car is Bootmod3 Tuned (BM3) More details soon Per Pro Tuning Freaks Instagram Among a few goals we’ve set for 2020 was to grow the team on the mechanical design side and get started on designing hard parts that performed far better than stock and suited the bm3 OTS maps offered. Its been a long road putting all the pieces together through hiring an in-house mechanical designer, planning and design stages, organizing manufacturing, logistics around shipping, covid-19 related delays, but we’re getting close finally on the first of our performance hard parts, the N55 / N20 front mount air to air intercoolers. Gloss silver powder coat?

But the outline of it, shows a larger face in proportion to other 5 inch stepped coolers Looks to be similar to the 6" race with the larger face (height) Just an observation of side profiles |

Tube & Fin is the internal intercooler technology that BMW engineers chose for its quick flow which makes for low intake pressure drop.

Just the opposite! Tube & fin is more costly to manufacture than bar & plate. Bar & plate is heavy and cheap

You’re so wrong OMG. No one in the aftermarket uses tube and fin for air to air intercoolers because they are “better” than bar and plate. OEM use it because its ok for tiny stock boost levels and its cheap. Plus they develop leaks so much quicker when tube and fin and tiny little rocks from road debris hit it in the front of the car. For an air to water intercooler a tube and fin is better but not air to air like we have

I feel the tube and fin/bar and plate discussion should be moved to the intercooler thread
