VK Motorwerks 135/335i Direct Mount Intercooler

TPLSM3 · 01-22-2009, 10:24 PM

That bumper looks familiar to me...

Fits the 135i without ANY trimming!! I'm glad we finally have a FMIC that will be a direct bolt on for us 135i guys. Easy install as well other than removing the 25 screws securing the splash shields!!

I just hope the community doesn't lose you as a vendor.

Did that already but dont have data to post up, like dynos and datalogs. Im sure the first batch of customers will varify the results regardless of temps.

Vince@ V K Motorwerks · 01-28-2009, 12:06 PM

First batch is almost sold out only 2 units left! First batch to be shipped in two weeks after QC testing next batch will be out in 5-6 weeks.

ETS core which I think is basically a garrett or honeywell unit. It seems simmular to their core on the inside and out.
