Arm Motorsports 7" Intercooler review / unbox (latest Version)
Hey guys,
I few months ago I was a little skeptical about the ARM Motorsports 7 inch intercooler. But...... When I was ordering their down pipes (to be installed), I decided to ask them what was the deal with this whole bottle neck thing on the cold side of the intercooler that I kept hearing about? They stated that they had no idea and that there was no bottle neck. I asked them and asked them again. To make long story short. I decided to take a gamble and order the intercooler, along other products I was ordering that day. Now that I have opened the box and installed the intercooler, I am happy with the choice I made. I decided that it was good to put this information out there, for anyone who it thinking about buying their products and I ended up documenting it. So far the fitment of the charge pipe, upgraded intercooler hoses and the 7 inch intercooler where on point. No issues at all. Feel free to take a look. And let me know what you think and what your experience has been. Also feel free to subscribe, Would definitely appreciate the support [u2b][/u2b] |

I have been monitoring the temps with Protool, but no logs yet. I have to take care of a few more maintenance before tuning. I'm planning to run MHD. With MHD I will definitely be able to get some logs. So far temps don't change much after a few runs. But then again I'm still not tuned yet. What would be the ideal way to test those temps? |

Differential between ambient and intake temp. Say if it's 90° outside and your ic is working awesome it should show 98° under full boost, only an 8° rise in temp. That's just an example.

How quick the intercooler recovers after a few pulls is important also.
I went with a different brand, however, if I was buying a IC again I would avoid any that use the factory connections like that. They seems to leak no matter what. OP I hope you installed new Green (hot side) and black (cold side) rubber seals when you installed
