Can only speak from experience with the VRSF but it was 100% worth the upgrade from stock.

You won't regret it! Feel free to check out my review thread on the 7HD, the reliability makes it a great investment regardless of your power goals.

If you do a quick search you'll quite a few comparison threads where customers have upgraded from the ER to our similarly sized 7" HD or our much larger Race intercooler where their IAT's actually drop during pulls. Last edited by Tiago@VRSF; 01-18-2019 at 02:19 AM.. |

Whats the consensus on the ARM 7inch intercooler with hose upgrade?
Seems reasonably well made for the money and I like the idea of eliminating a couple joints on the cold side to avoid future boost leaks and smooth out airflow on both sides. I will be running methanol primarily for charge cooling before summer hits also, so it doesnt need to be the best of the best but for flow and pressure loss are my largest concerns. |

Wagner EVO I (on sale), VRSF and Active Autowerke are all good options since you have methanol injection, the 5" will be enough for cooling + has better pressure drop than 7" + lighter weight

We've made significant improvements to our intercooler line since we first introduced our first intercooler for this platform almost a decade ago and we're proud of the fact that our intercoolers are being used on multiple record holding N54's. |

(i assume it was copied from somewhere) I'm really dissatisfied with the fitment of my BMS chargepipe and eliminating their chargepipe to intercooler pipe coupler would really help fitment issues. |
