I'll place my order as soon as I get home today. It's 24* ambient right now and my IAT's are still ridiculous. I'm sick of it.

Vrsf intercooler is where its at

Hopefully it's a big shipment, apparently these things will be going like hot cakes! Patiently waiting!

HeavyMetalRocker · 02-22-2014, 12:28 PM

For the record, this is NOT a plug and play system! It takes quite a bit of muscle and even more patience to get things put into place!...

BMDoublYou · 02-22-2014, 12:34 PM

Plug and Play means you do not need to drill/cut existing parts of the car, the fact that you need to remove some items in the engine bay to have easy access to it, should be expected. Are you claiming that this CP requires cutting/custom fab work, or that it takes more work then opening the hood and removing clamps and bolting this one in place

Yes, I am! You'll need to either modify your vacuum connection or get an adapter for a 1/4" to an 1/8". Depending on what intercooler setup up you have you'll need to adjust your lower piping. And fitment is the tightest it could possibly be! Don't get me wrong, it's in and it looks and works great. But don't go thinking you're going to go do this in an hour or two. Annnnd tial needs to start shipping lighter springs with their bov's.

AlpineSwift · 02-22-2014, 09:49 PM

Good to know seeing as I ordered mine today.

HeavyMetalRocker · 02-22-2014, 10:58 PM

Forgot to mention, I had to cut my spring by about a 1/4" to a 1/2" to get the bov to function properly. Also, the piston on the bov was stuck initially and needed to be opened anyway and pushed through. I just pulled it out and wiped everything down real good while I had the spring out. Another side note.. lol don't try to take the top off while it's attached.. you'll watch all of those pretty little allen bolts fly into your engine bay... good luck, I got lucky! Anotherother note, I have a CxRacing FMIC with custom intercooler piping which is where SOME of the headache came from. Now, like I said it's in and I feel a HUGE difference in throttle response and it definitely holds the boost up top MUCH MUCH MUCH BETTER than the oem with dv's. The tial IS in fact much more quiet than you would think, even running 18.5'ish psi peak boost but it also has a nice whoosh sound and not some high pitched whistle pssssst sound. If I ever get around to it I'll make a thread about the intercooler, chargepipe, and piping just to show it off and have pics on the internet! The product is good and I stand by it not being as easy to install as others but then it also looks much better IMO than others so you get what you get!!!

Let's clear something up straight away here, you're talking about the VRSF CP w/Tial BOV, I was referencing the VRSF 7" FMIC. Two different animals.

The CP fit fine in my engine bay with a little bit wiggling. No modification necessary to get it all to match up. The Tial BOV has been venting pressure with 15.6 all the way to 18+psi boost spikes on the old crappy tunes with the spring it came with. Zero issues there with venting boost pressure so I'm thinking whatever issues you've had were probably early on. I just RECENTLY installed my parts, and I'm running the older version of the CP by VRSF standards now.

Yeah just the chargepipe and bov. I just installed both today lol I'm actually thinking that there are variances in vacuum between the years of production or something... Granted I couldn't even push the piston up with my bare hands until after I took it apart to shave the spring down. It's the "older" style CP since he has a new one coming with the oem connector. We didn't have a way to measure the vacuum but it was definitely sucking hard... it vents fine since I cut the spring down but before I did that the thing wouldn't even act like it was going to budge. I'm going to order a different spring monday or tuesday after I get an accurate reading for my vacuum line so I get the right one. Mine also wasn't very "wiggle it in" either... It took brute strength to squeeze it in there and that's before dealing with any of my intercooler piping. But, it's in lol
