Renntech intercooler now available

If anybody is interested in getting a group buy together on the larger Renntech intercooler let me know. I know some people bought the pre-release version earlier but this is apparently updated. I've been talking with Bob Brady of Renntech and he has e-mailed me to let me know that the real deal is now being offered for $995. He did say it could be sold cheaper if they can get enough orders. HP increase is 10. If anybody is in the Houston area it can be installed at Memorial One for alot less than MB North. Anybody interested?

Adam do you live in Houston? Does Memorial One do Kleeman or ASP pulley, Upsolute chip install, etc as well or only Renntech? also, the intercooler, does it require any modification of bumper or cut/modify factory piping or direct replacement parts? Thanks for any info (oh yeah and how much does Memorial One expect for labor?)

I go to Texas A&M but Houston is close so thats where I get my car serviced. I don't know much about Memorial One other than Renntech reccomended them personally because they would charge less than a dealership. I think they can install just about anything and do any kind of work on Mercedes but 'm not sure. I pretty sure you don't have to do much modifying to install it. I don't know what labor costs at Memorial one but I know MB North charges alot.
