Highly unlikely; from what i've seen on http://*************/new-intercooler/ logs and as seen here pretty damn good http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...5&postcount=29

But lets wait till badbread can do 2nd gear WOT pull all the way to 5th gear and i'll be getting mine installed next week since im out of town this weekend

I think I may go ahead and get one too. My old BT dongle is almost 7 years old now and I think it's starting to get flakey.

Arrived, quick swap out with the old one. Working like a champ. I use it with Torque Pro vs the included app.

They make extensions that have a feed through and/or OBDII splitters if you need two.

Told R32DBP F30_SixSpeed Crashnbrn5 JoshVass to get it before Sale ends

I opened the box up yesterday and looked at it quickly then put it back in. I should've gotten pics but I already packed it away in the garage. I'm hoping to install on Monday

Nice. Plan on doing any logs? Do you have a dp/axleback? I was toying with the idea of doing resonator delete with my DP and stock exhaust. I switched to Map 5 this morning and beat the shit out of my car for the last hour. I pulled into the parking lot with my windows down and sheesh, gunshot after gunshot. Idk if it was the Map 5 change, or just from beating on my car but it sounded amazing.

Well, when RK Tunes gets me a tablet (HOPEFULLY MONDAY) I can log. Other than that you guys will have to live with me saying it feels stronger haha. I have stock DPS and exhaust--I was catless in my 328 and it was SO loud and a hassle when emissions would come around..The resonator should backfire and still be semi tame..cant wait! I'll have videos for sure.

CTS has been in the business for VAG community and other for a while, not as much BMW work until now. While they aren't on the same level as Wagner who does INCREDIBLE work, i believe CTS to be an excellent choice as well.

FWIW::: i don't carry either. This is from my own personal thoughts and opinions

Almost game time!

I'm pretty sure the ER doesn't look like any other intercooler on the market?

No but the CTS was way bigger. EVeryone at the shop was like "damn this is a nice piece"

100 to install it was so quick.

[badbread]

OK, finally able to do at least one 2-4 pull

No e85 in the tank this time, this was towards the end of a 30 minute highway drive.

Nice, looks much better than stock. One thing I've noticed with the aftermarket IC's is how much they drop once you start pushing real air through them. Normal driving the temps are about the same above ambient as stock was, but as soon as a little boost gets pushed, it drops fast and doesn't pick up for a while. I'm installing an M-sport bumper soon, I'm curious how the much bigger opening will affect both normal running IATs and those after a run. Now I look at my stock IATs and wonder how the car did anything. Did you do charge pipe or TIC as well?

This proves exactly what I said before in another thread. Too bad the competitor didn't like

On stock IC FSociety showed me some logs where his ambient is around 50F & unfortunately his IAT at the end of 4th or 5th gear is 130F. With this CTS Turbo we're seeing badbread last year logs and this year logs show how RESPECTABLE this IC is. Especially with this attractive sale they have going on.

Posting some logs from above each gear and temp doesn't rise.

[badbread]

Thanks for the comments all, I'm learning a lot here.
Thanks also for doing all the legwork on my logs.

I forgot how time consuming a newborn can be and haven't had the time sit down and go through everything...

I look forward to more productive discussion about this and other FMIC's.
