that's my car!!!
I was the beta test on that unit...
by the way.. if you already have a CP3 unit, the swap to the new HE was very simple.
Just remove the plastic air underbody.. and you have enough room just to unbolt the older unit and bring up the new one.
less than 30mins and very little coolant loss.
This only applies cars with CP3 units already installed.
I have done plenty of data logging this supper...
its basically 10-15 degrees over ambient when cruising at 70 on a 100 degree dat.
It reaches 140 at around 110mph.
but the difference is recovery time is key.

You went with the new core? I still have the old core...

Thank you so much for the post and for your help with testing this product! Also, your images have helped A LOT!
On a side note, the actual production unit is 4+ inches longer than the beta unit. We decided we had a little more room and would extend it a tad.

I am interested but still waiting for the pictures of the finished unit uninstalled. Experanced the SC shutdown on my run to 140 last night. It was 55ish outside and I am still stock.

Next up!
ECU and separated IC HE circuit from the engine coolant.. maybe with a small reservoir. like the C32 unit.
Space is limited, but I'm sure we can find a way.

Regarding our kit versus VRP's, both are excellent products, it just comes down to personal preference.

Whenever the heat exchanger/intercooler fluid circuit has been breached, e.g., installing a heat exchanger or its pump, it’s imperative to ensure the system is subsequently bled of any residual air in order to maximize the effectiveness of the modification(s):
