Just got my CL65 / intercooler upgrade
Anyone have experience upgrading the intercooler heat exchanger and pump? Think I'm going to engage Eurocharged to do the work.. might as well have them do the ECU/TCU too.. thoughts?

Beautiful CL. Can't go wrong with EC tune.
I went with a bigger pump at first, but couldn't get low enough IAT's with the constant stop/go & low speed driving around town, so I went with a killer Chiller instead of a bigger H/E. Definitely lower IAT's now, but I also live in a much cooler climate than you and 98% of my around town driving is 45mph or slower roads with stops, almost no freeway.
The factory H/E isn't very efficient at low speed stop and go driving with the A/C on because it is located behind the A/C H/E. A secondary cooling supplemental H/E makes more sense, especially if it doesn't use ambient air heated by your A/C H/E to try and cool the fluid.
