I had an XS Power intercooler on my 507 horse SRT-4. My old SRT-4 was the fastest stock motor/bottom end car in the nation. Does that say something? Also stock intercooler intake temps were datalogged at 92-95* in boost on a 70 degree day. The intercooler was installed and on a similair day the intake temps were datalogged at 72-75* at WOT.
Ummm I think they work fine and I will purchase one for my Evo soon enough.

I find this whole subject ludicrous to begin with. Welcome to the evom show.

This thread is useless unless someone has comparison data from dyno runs on the same day, same weather, same humidity...

apparently, some people would rather pay big money for brand name IC so they can have a piece of mind that something like this will not happen. i haven't seen any evidence to support that this might happen with the XSPower IC. if i see any evidence that this IC will have ill effects on my engine, then i would take the IC off .

Who is to say that you wouldn't have less chance of problem with XS over "brand X". Why is this XS Power FMIC such a mystery?
If this has never happended, then why are we even talking about sucking in cooling fins.
The subject is ridiculous.
Its just like ARP studs. I sell them, I use them. Has anyone ever stretched the stock bolts? No.
People are strange.

It could also be becuase "insecure" people seem to like factual data of any kind. I'd love to believe it but until I see something other than temps taken 3 days apart from one another, butt dyno results I'm not sold on it becuase it does seem too good to be true.

Also anyone know where to get the AMS Style and LICP for a IX?
