Honestly, if you really are against VRSF - the BMS is just going to be a solid alternative - the Evo 3 is too, but its double the cost and you may have issues trying to fit it on the Xdrive.

Are you saying that you actually have experience with the PTF/BM3 intercooler? What are you basing your comment on that all of the others cool better? I just haven't seen or heard of any data on this IC since it's so new. Please share what information you have? |

I did look briefly at that thread and the datalogs and the PTF is showing IAT increases over a single 3rd or 4th gear pull, which only last a few seconds. I am withholding full judgement until we get more datalogs, which i requested from the guy in the other thread who said he purchased and installed. |

Lol, now PTF is offering FMIC, it seems like every one wants to be in FMIC game. I guess most if not all FMIC are probably a white label brand made in China

We will be upgrading our 5 inch core intercooler with a high density core just like our 7 inch that so many people love.

Anyways my opinion is get a bigger IC. That one is probably adequate, but with N20 you are going to be running even higher boost than i did on 5''. You can also be a guinea pig and try something like the MAD race which as i understand it is on a huge sale at the moment (assuming it fits your car). |

Yeah, honestly given the sale on MAD race right now ($356.30 for race...) i would probably just try that... somewhat "untested" in terms of data reported here but at that price point and based on the picture i dont see how it could be bad value unless it doesn't fit (and customer service should take care of that).

We could be buying the same stuff with different price level due to marketing |

But there are differences - internal core, external core, inlet diverter, height, depth.

if you do minor trimming, it should help make the install easier
