Default Front mount intercooler question.

does anyone know if when using a front mount intercooler you get rid of the factory unit. I am looking at the SPR unit and it does not specify. any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Default ABT is the only unit that uses the stock unit

All others are replacement as for as I know.

The picture of the SPP/Racetec unit on 1Bar's car had both plumbed IIRC.

Default Talk to 1-bar

he also had the ABT FMIC on his car with and without the stock SMIC. He actully used my stock IC to make a tube to replace the stock SMIC. Not sure what the results where other then there was a added lag since the replacement pipe had more volume then the SMIC.

Default The SPR unit does not run the fmic in tandem

with the stocker. I asked Eric about this a week ago when I ordered one. It should be here in about 2 weeks and I will be running it with a K04.
