Tiago how about access to one of the first 7" kits for the OP since i got everyone all fired up again about this kit??

doesnt hurt to try! haha

Cant wait for the 5" core!

Those end tanks look smooth. If I didn't already have a FMIC I'd so get one of these in a 7 inch.

Maybe i should do a little searching, but the benefits of a 7" vs 5" are additional cooling? 7" setup would be ideal for the upgraded turbos in the near future? Thanks in advance. Anyhow, i'm in for this when it's out!... 113°F in Phoenix this last week....

Tiago@VRSF · 06-22-2012, 02:48 PM

The larger the core, the better the cooling. We have intentions on going with an upgraded turbo setup sooner than later which is why we pushed for the release of a 7" core over a 5" but both will do a great job in terms of cooling on the stock turbo setup

7" is necessary for a more aggressive setup on a car that's regularly tracked. If you're car stays on the street, a 5" FMIC is plenty sufficent - Especially when you consider the additional work that goes into installing a 7" FMIC.

Your IATs will def drop, but in AZ heat you might want to consider an FMIC + oil cooling upgrade. In temps like that, the OEM oil cooler is more likely to trigger limp mode when it won't be able to keep the oil below 260°F (280°F triggers the Low-Power/Limp mode as a protective measure).

Please add me to the list for a 7" please.

You guys are developing upgraded twins too?!? Nice!!!! Tiago.. you should include a stencil with your company logo in with the intercoolers. That would be great advertising for you guys!

LivnLife31 · 06-27-2012, 08:04 AM

Tiago- when is this group buy going to get started?

benzy89 · 06-27-2012, 09:01 AM

+1 for the upgraded TTs, be interesting to see where this falls in the market since RBs are really the only option. ASRs are double the price for the same #s & the Helix TTs are non-existant

Count me in on the 7" core. As I am a previous buyer of some of your downpipes.

GoldRush24 · 06-27-2012, 12:34 PM

Waiting for the 5". With these Vegas temps I may have to bite the bullet and go with another brand :-|

._. · 06-27-2012, 01:10 PM

looking for the combo!

Same here, but with costs of an IC these days were looking at minimum $700 no??
Plus DP's I'm over $1k lol....

Maybe I'll wait for a Black Friday event and get em both then

Eric335 · 06-27-2012, 09:07 PM

im still waiting for the damn exhaust .......

Re-read his post. Pretty sure he was just saying that he's looking to upgrade his twins and that sparked the need for an upgraded intercooler.

Well the VRSF DPs cost $385 right now and Tiago said that the FMIC is going to cost $400-500. He's also said they'll do a combo pricing, so let's say 15% discount(?) for buying both at the same time in the initial GB, you're looking between $650-700 for everything

Tiago@VRSF · 06-27-2012, 11:31 PM

Disclaimer: I have not decided on what the discounted pricing will be yet.

benzy89 · 06-28-2012, 08:28 AM

^^All my numbers were hypothetical guestimates. I don't have a cool list "BimmerPost Supporting Vendor" thing under my name so nobody should cite my "pricing"

Chuck · 06-28-2012, 08:31 AM

Looking forward to this!

DrHeLpErZx · 06-28-2012, 03:30 PM

Can't wait!

No worries Tiago we all know you gotta pay to play

My usually concerns are shipping with larger products like DP's/FMIC
as it defeats the discount pricing. We'll discuss this when you release official derails, but please keep me on your list!
