I mean what they didn't have was an efficiency curve on a b8

Awe claims 21crank hp and 30% decrease in iat with logs and dynos,

eurocode claims 20wheel hp and 35% decrease in temps, pending data logs and dynos

I would wait for Eurocodes to post up there data before you make a decision

Here are the intake air temperature logs...we did five back to back 0-100MPH pulls with each intercooler (stock and Eurocode) As the data shows the harder the Eurocode FMIC is pushed, the better it responds. There is a true 35% reduction in intake air temperatures.

Hopefully someone will do a write up and review on it soon so we can all see the difference.
We've provided dyno and IAT testing data on the B8 Chassis (posted below) since we released our FMIC almost two years ago.

What information are you referring too that we don't offer for the B8 that we do for the B7? Pressure Drop and Efficiency comparing our FMIC to the factory unit? The pressure drop and efficiency ratings on both our B7 and B8 FMICs will be the same. The only data we don't publish is the pressure drop and efficiency for the factory B8 FMIC.

The data below was collected on our Mustang MD-500 AWD Dyno. We did many runs with each variation to ensure we had accurate before and after information.

I must have seen an old chart because the one I saw was for a B7 that someone posted awhile ago on audizine. Thanks for posting this, it's very helpful! Your guys FMIC is my next mod after a BBK. I'm yet to hear a negative review and everyone who has one seems to love it.

eurocode, what we are looking for is a dyno chart, like the one provided by AWE in the last post. The IAT runs look very promising, but at the end of the day, we want to see the end result on the dyno. Especially considering your FMIC holds a 50% premium to that of AWE's.

Not a problem Nick, glad to help anytime I can.

If anyone else has a question about our FMIC, please let me know. I'll be happy to answer them.

We have not compared our product to any other manufacturer, it stands on its own merit.

An intercooler can not add power to a car, all it does is recover lost horsepower due to thermal inefficiency and rising air intake temperatures.

Dyno numbers are not a true indication of the efficiency of an intercooler, it is virtually impossible to duplicate the amount of air volume that the vehicle sees during driving on the road.

We do have dynos pending, however they need to be backed up with an independent dyno on an independent car before we post.
