we arent the cheapest in town, my apologies, but these arent cheap to manufacture. The cores are custom made to our spec's and only built in small batches!
cheers

I drive a 2009 Ralliart and I'm located in Cockeysville, MD which is only about 45 minutes from your shop in York, PA. If you're serious about what you said, I'll trade letting you use my car as a "guinea pig" to test a Ralliart intercooler design, in exchange for a free intercooler after you get the product perfected. Deal???

Got some data with the CBRD FMIC upgrade today.
HUGE difference over the stock FMIC as far as actually working like a intercooler.
Notice that with the CBRD data, the ambient temp at the MAF was approx 85F, where with the OEM it was approx 67F, so it was approx 20F warmer day, and the CBRD still never got heatsoaked like the OEM did pre-WOT.
Through 2nd and 3rd gear WOT, the CBRD FMIC never exceeds 10F warmer at the intake manifold then the temp at the MAF, where the OEM was almost 40F warmer then at the MAF!
Glad to finally have a proper intercooler on this car, espically with the summer temps coming...

Put the RA on the dyno today after adding some parts.
The car sits with these mods currently, everything else is 100% stock:
Mitsu metal OEM bov (Evo 9/10)
Evo 10 upper/lower intercooler piping
CBRD FMIC
UR test pipe
GST Boost pill upgrade
It was about 30-35F warmer today (Approx 85F) then the last time (approx 55F) the car had been on the dyno. Which I'm sure skewed things a bit unfortunately.
I also think I might be over-spinning the dinky OEM turbo at this point and the larger FMIC might be a little too big for this toy turbo.
It started getting warmer in the dyno room so I decided to end the session early. I think it's time to upgrade the turbo on this car.
Today it put down:
221 whp / 268 wtq
23 psi peak, falling to 12.5 psi
Here is today compared to last time when it was 100% stock but tuned (and approx 30-35F cooler out)
As you can see it gained a healthy amount of power (+27wtq / +20whp) in the low to mid range but struggled past 6,000 rpm.
The good news is the car is now making +70 wtq / +60 whp over 100% bone stock at 4,000 rpm which is pretty impressive for such a small turbo:
I think it's time to get away from the stock turbo subaru type graphs and get a real turbo on this RA.

That should confuse a few people Maybe I should get one? I could see a couple of chaps earlier this week looking at my car in my works car park, they looked around the front and the sides a few times before looking at the back to find out what it is. Now if it said Sportback, that would be cool.
