I don't want to knock it down because I would love to see a before and after dyno to see how well this works but the biggest problem we have in our intercooling system is airflow, not cooling per say. I don't see how making a longer intercooler is going to help airflow, in any case, it could make it worse.

I thought the limiting factor with the stock one was BTU exchange not airflow. So making it longer would allow more transfer or exchange of heat. But where is the bypass flap?

Definitely looks good. Datalog the car (IAT's) and of course before and after dyno.
If I recall correctly when this came out there were only 2 guys running this, I am talking about years ago..1 was me and the other was Jackpro. It was sold to us from Evotech. The car was very violent of the line which is one of the benefits of eliminating the bypass valve.

I actually never understood why we had a bypass valve at all when the SC has a clutch. The purpose of the bypass valve is to reduce pumping losses due to driving the superchager to boost all the time. With the clutch there is no boost under normal driving conditions, so why did we need this? Maybe to make the engagement smoother? The CLK DTM did not have a bypass valve IIRC.
In any case this looks good and looking forward to the results.

When I had mines it almost felt like the car wanted to go most of the time, sometimes jerky due to the acceleration and excess boost no where to go. it was definitely violent, and I loved it.

Nice work!
I'm working on one as well that is slightly taller and wider to increase flow area. I keep getting side tracked but this is great motivation! I think with the combination of our results, we would finally be able to end the debate on this stupid IC...
Looking forward to seeing your results

Nice work. This ads to EvoSport's FAIL, it takes them years to release a stupid Top Mount Intercooler. They think people on this forum are idiots by giving dumb updates like "we have good results, we're gonna post them soon" "it'll be released soon" BULL**** EvoSport in fact go dream on about getting $10,000 for your Top Mounts nobody is gonna pay even $5000.
Good luck OP and thanks for showing even more how incompetent EvoSport is.

Great job to the OP, good luck with the new IC, lets see some data logs/dyno pulls once that bad boys installed
