Default TyrolSport UG Side Mount Intercooler anyone have experience or thoughts?

with the data they have logged, appears to perform just as if not better than a FMIC plus you don't have to hack you bumper.

Thought?<ul><li><a href="http://www.tyrolsport.com/">http://www.tyrolsport.com/</a</li></ul>

Default Mine is coming in today...

You don't have to hack up the bumper but you do have to hack away at the radiator support. I'll post up some impressions after I get it installed.

Default From what I have read I am impressed. I'll probably pick that up when I go BT so I can continue the

sleeper look.

Default looks nice, price is high considering it's just a core and endtanks

a proper kit should come with some sutffer, upgraded inlet and outlet hoses. Especially for that price.

I agree with the sleeper look, I don't like to advertise what I have

My reaction as well, but it is $200+ less than a FMIC and stealth

I like how they did their data homework charts/graphs showing stock vs FMIC vs their stuff

Default if you're looking for stealth, it is a good option

you could also get a black anodized front mount unit for stealth. I think the guy selling them on AZ gives that option. I know I've seen them before somewhere. You can get a pair of RS4 intercooler on ebay for $650 as well. Someone here is convinced both driver and passenger side units can be made to fit the A4. I know the drivers side fits with some trimming.
