How much rwhp gain have you seen?Has it helped with heat soak?Does it still keep the same boost,or did you experience lower boost;due to pressure drop?

wait till we see the Dyno graphs before saying that, you might be surprised by the gain. Don't forget that the SLR also has a similar setup.

The dyno graph shows 505rwhp......but no torque.
Does anyone knows what stage motor they are running with the upgraded I/C?
Calculated using a 17% loss,the crank hp shold be around 610hp.
If we know what stage the car is,we can estimate the hp gain with the SLR I/C added.If we gain 40-50 hp then we are paying about $320.00-$400.per hp.These are very expensive hp.......but the higher up in hp you go the harder it is to extract,and the more expensive it gets.

Thanks so much Adam!!

Wish they could have brought it down to the 10 range.....they would FLY off the shelf.

16 plus install is just too much for me.

i think there's probably 30-40hp to be had from this...but not much more. most of the slr's hp comes from a few other differences.

regardless, i guarrantee i can build a custom system that is at least as (if not more) efficient for MUCH less than $16k. and before you challenge me to do it, know that i'm already getting things together.

The dyno graph shows 505rwhp..
Hmmm..... BENZGal's 55 made 517 RWHP with 80 mm TB and evosport Stage II+.

I would expect at least 540-550 RWHP to justify the price.

This would be intresting.It seems like everyone is trying to put out an effective intercooler that will help with the cooling of the beast.
It appears that an heat exchanger,is significantly cheeper than a intercooler;everyone will be putting out some type of heat exchanger that help to dissepetate heat.

Here you go: http://evosport.com/product/proddeta...ER.M5K.PP2.219

Adding Cooling Upgrade Package: http://evosport.com/product/proddeta...ER.M5K.PPC.230

Typically brings 55 in high 400s at the wheels. And than adding 80 mm TB gets you in low 500s (510-520 RWHP).

BTW, SLRs make 515-520 RWHP.

I think there may be a typo.

Was number "1" accidentally pressed?

Please check your records....
