Biggest difference is the weight difference between the 2.

Wagner EVO II Comp is a tube and fin intercooler, its half the weight of the ER intercooler

Hey Mike,

I have an N26 daily driver with bootmod3 VRSF downpipe, not really planning on upgrading the turbo so which intercooler would you recommend?

Hi,
For best results i would go with either Wagner EVO II or VRSF HD

15Blk428i · 04-15-2018, 10:14 PM

Do you guys offer a charge pipe combo deal?

What about the AA for F Chassis FMIC? Is that not HD? That's the one I was planning to go with BM3 or AA Flash, catless DP and CP (budget minded n26

). Thx.

Active Autowerke FMIC is not HD, in a cold weather, street car you might be able to get away with the AA FMIC.

Spec's and pics look awesome, was planning on VRSF HD for F36 n26 but now might be changing my mind. I think lag would be my biggest concern since its a daily and never tracked. Also plan on bootmod3, VRSF catless. Would the VRSF HD still be the better choice?

the VRSF 5" HD will not cause any lag with your setup.

Do you have any logs for before/after of someone who installed a VRSF 5" Intercooler and had BM3/JB4 + downpipe already?

Would be interesting to see the performance changes/differences.
