Which intercooler and charge pipe should I go with?

GrimJaw · 04-19-2019, 06:19 AM

Doing both at same time, leaning towards vrsf 5 inch and the charge pipe as well.

I will be running:
Fabspeed sport cat
MPE
Dinan CAI

Looking for something that will cause no CEL!

I got the FTP Motorsports chargepipe. Pretty good, some people said its alittle thin but i disagree. Been running for 3 years. Quite cheap also. It has 1 additional sealed port in the case you would like to do meth injection.

Also, i got the burger tuning f chassis intercooler. It was a seemless installation. $300 new.
F chassis dimensions 21" x 6" first step x 2.5" 2nd step x 5"

These gave me the results i needed. The CEL error is from your downpipe if i am not mistaken. the additional mods you are looking into will have no affect into those errors.

I'm hoping
For no vacuum/boost leaks or anything. I know the charge pipe has to be in a very specific place and I drive an xdrive so I'm worried

My car is RWD and I have the VRSF CP with no issues at all.

I'm running Active Autowerke black inter-cooler and black charge pipes. If you're looking to get that clean/OE look.
