Default more surface area and more direct cooling on the air going into intake manifold
less turbo heat soak, and more power

WOW! A whole lot better than spending $800+ for a 'name brand' FMIC

Default a couple guys on here including 1.8T Boricua have already used this core
They've been very happy with it.

What turbo and software are you running? I'm very interested in this setup.

will that core fit under the stock front without cutting? or will you modify a bit?
