Introducing the New 7.5 inch RACE intercooler from VRSF

Tiago@VRSF · 05-21-2017, 06:13 PM

No sir, fitment is a bit tight in that area for a 3" pipe but we're working on a solution.

Mogge94 · 10-11-2017, 03:54 PM

May anybody please enlighten me what it is about the "lower charge pipe upgrade"?

I´m running stock turbos on my 2012 1M Coupe, and a synapse BOV & CP, would i need the "lower charge pipe upgrade" and what exactly is this even?

Thanks a lot

Yes, anything 2009+ is required.

It's the pipe that connects your FMIC to your upper charge pipe AKA the lower charge pipe.

Some guy in germany is currently developing a solution for 3" pipe, 1 piece, straight from the fmic to the chargepipe, with meth bung.

You can PM me if you´re interested

That sounds great.make sure it clears guys like us with the coolant relocated and power steering with bov.As for bov I'm assuming it will fit tial,hks,etc.
Also not sure if there's a difference for automatic and manual guys for piping in that area for radiator or hoses.

How much more cutting is required, comparing the 7.5" Stepped Race intercooler to the 7" HD intercooler ?

Cloud9blue · 11-04-2017, 11:56 PM

Anyone has this in stock at the moment?

Still need to jack up the thread once again.

Which pipe do i receive, now that the lower cp upgrade is included?

The left or right one? Or, best case, both?

Just figured out that the synapse cp is pretty long (https://www.vividracing.com/catalog/...150705288.html) and i have the fear that this would interfere if i would only get delivered the right, longer lower chargepipe...

Thats how it looks installed in my engine bay. Note that the silicone coupler from oem fmic piping to chargepipe runs straight, not angulated!

The driver side pipe is the one included.

DR-JEKL · 11-22-2017, 08:02 PM

Has anyone installed this in conjunction with the CSF rad with no issues?

Is the 7” hd not is Stock the next Month ?

They are all out of stock until late January but pre-orders can take advantage of holiday pricing. We also have 7" ETS HD in stock if you need something sooner.

We love the 7.5" Race intercooler in our test car. Highly recommended.

Xi won't interfere with the FMIC.
