New Intercooler
After much reading and research, I've decided that an improved intercooler will be my first mod. Mainly because any tuning moving forward would almost require a larger, better heat dissipating cooler.
What brand have folks used with tunes? There are a lot of knock offs and china brands, so I'm looking for a drop in, no modifications, no drilling or bracket modification cooler. Thanks for your time. Jim

The Wagner intercooler is the only intercooler for the 535 not made in china, as far as I know.
that said, the MAD intercooler is the best value and will outperform the Wagner cooler.

Thanks for the info guys I really appreciate it. My only question I guess is if a 7" Race cooler would be to large. Read an article that was from back in 2018, that talked about the 5", 6" and 7" coolers. I'm not planning on going crazy with the tune, looking for 325 to 375 RWHP at the most. I don't want to introduce undo turbo lag with using a larger than needed cooler. Also being in the in Houston Texas area, it gets very hot in the summer with high humidity. I remember how my brothers Turbo T type Buicks performance would really fall off in the heat. Of course that was with a factory Buick intercooler. Anyone have any thoughts about the larger coolers? Thanks.

The beauty of the step design is you get the larger surface area but without the added volume of a intercooler of the same size.

Same with the new intake, the MST is cheaper than getting yours shipped and through customs. |

I agree, I also have a Wagner IC very well made, added the Snow 2.5 Meth kit and my IAT's are very very low!

and +1 to Mike @ Extreme Power House! I got a GREAT deal on mine back in the day when the WT ICs for the (F10) 535s were going for over $1k. Couldn't be happier with the way everything worked out on that purchase! |
