I've got the VRSF 7" and have no issues with fitment etc

It performs well enough for spirited street use, I haven't tracked my car at all so can't comment about its performance there

The logs I've done show that it reduces IATs quite well, even through multiple, back to back logging runs

you do have to cut some of the center plastic section out from in front of the radiator support, don't know if you have to do that with the wagner

Id be getting a 7" HD at a minimum. I wouldn't bother with wagner all together, the price and size/density of the vrsf ics has basically made everything else irrelevant.

update: Just bought the 7" VRSF. shipping kills but keen as!
thanks for the input

I went with the Wagner Evo due to being plug and play as i didn't want to trim or cut anything on the car to get it to fit, took me 30 min to install it. Seems to be performing very well from my logs.
The VRSF requires trimming of the black plastic shroud behind the bumper as well as new couplers and stainless steel t-bolt clamps to inlet and outlet.

Yeah i heard the VRSF needs some trimming, I'm not too fussed about that

At least it comes included with all the couplers and T clamps, otherwise i would be worried haha
Looking forward to install day!

Hope you got the 7" HD FMIC dude. If not, cancel your order before it's shipped and grab the HD. You'll thank me later haha
