Yup, you'll be able to re-install the under shield once installed

Underbody tray, yes. The tray the used to cover the bottom of the intercooler, no. The bottom of the intercooler sits about half an inch lower than the OEM one. I just tossed it after the install, not like you actually need it for anything.

So I got this mofo installed with my BMW Buddy on Friday, not as easy as it seems, fitment is TIGHT!!!, had to cut off some plastic on the back side of the radiator to get this thing to fit, it eventually fit with some manipulation, getting my hand stuck between the crossmember and pipe and a few cuts, but me and my buddy got it in. He was at the point that he was going to take the whole front end apart. Overall works, but we broke the "c" clip that goes from the boost pipe to the intercooler (the one on the passenger side) we changed out the stock boost pipe to a FTP since I had it / came with my Charge pipe as a combo, and we had the intercooler out, do you know if BMW sells replacement ones?? I can't find any of these clips online, only found the clip to the Charge pipe that goes to the throttle body. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry, I didn't take pics, I ended up helping my buddy do the install, so my hand were greasy

Did you follow bullits5 DIY that he did on this same intercooler? He said it was tight but his went in with no modifications.
Here's his DIY, it's a great write up https://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1596580 |

Yah, I followed his post, stock intercooler came out no problem, but when installing the new intercooler and new boost pipe, that's where the problem came, you have to get the boost pipe at the right angle or else it wont go in. It was stiff as hell hard to turn, we loosened up the clamps that connect the the boost pipe together, there's and end piece that goes to the intercooler, a rubber coupler then then pipe that connects to the turbo, if you dont get the angle correct, your F!!c15ed! We were able to get it in, but that damn c clamp that connects the boost pipe to the intercooler broke......

For those who have this FMIC installed, any signs of boost loss compared to the OE IC? Its a great deal and clearly temperature is not an issue, but what about the boost? If it is losing 5 psi boost across it, that may be a huge difference that wagner beats it on?

Just received my G-Plus intercooler... with a dent in the coupler. Otherwise it looks good to me! Brackets were included.

More real data for people looking to make a decision between Wagner or G-Plus. 4th gear log attached. IAT initially drops but then climbs by about 10° by the end of the pull. I am unsure how this compares to the Wagner or VRSF.
http://www.bootmod3.net/log?id=5d540f15c090c638743c4f0d This was done right after doing a 5th year log where the IAT dropped slightly then went up a few degrees. http://www.bootmod3.net/log?id=5d540eb2c090c638743c4f09 My uneducated conclusion: works great for the price! The others may or may not perform better. It appears the G-Plus does like to retain some heat after repeated pulls but does not allow IAT to climb into an area that will pull timing.

Coolant and oil temps are unaffected by an intercooler in this application. I'm sure someone makes an aftermarket radiator, but I do not see the need. The biggest concern we have with F series N55 is the small stock intercooler not being able to keep Intake Air Temp(IAT) down. G-Plus has solved that for me and hard daily driving. I'll monitor if/when I do an autocross with this car.

I do not have any real life experience with PS2, but any time it takes more airflow to spin something there will be some correlation to how long it takes to reach peak boost. That said, it's a stock housing upgrade and any lag caused by it wont be much from the logs i've seen. I did not upgrade the any other piping. Stock chargepipe and boost pipe.

I was referring to another thread where a member upgraded his turbos to Pure2 and with the Wagner IC he noticed a bit of lag. I believe he resolved the issue. I was asking a clarification if us guys with stock turbos and an upgraded IC would notice lag?
