GAD Motors new intercoolers for M157

Just wanted to share the latest development by GAD Motors new intercooler cooler air intake and quicker spooling time for the turbos more than twice the airflow surface of the existing intercooler core at least made big difference in my car

Good stuff!!! Please make the IATs tests and 100-200km/h comparisons with new kit vs your previous mods.

Different cars will have different air intake temperature depending on the turbo setup and boost you are running, in my case before the GAD intercoolers have reduced the air intake temperature from 85C with 34C outside temperature at 300Km to 54C, I tested it yesterday too with 24C outside temperature had a consistent 37C intake temperature I dropped 0.5 second only by the upgrade without changing the tune 100-200km

They shouldn't be much. MB tax may be very high though. These look very similar.

I wanted to bring this thread back since it was the only one in an M157 AMG page mentioning TMIC. So has anyone gotten these or looking into doing something similar?

im actually actually about 2 months away from finishing a very good performance kit with nothing overlooked. High flow, extremely low pressure drop kit with center intercooler deleted. They are dual pass high hp coolers. No eBay versions.

You are coming out with intakes also? Do the intakes require the intercooler kit?

No they are separate. The intakes will be a true stage 2 intake setup . It entirely does away with all the factory inlet pipes and allows the absolute highest flow capabilities. The top mount cooler will be our stage 3 which upgrades the intake to a short ram intake removes stock intercooler replaces that with a high flow pipe along with 2 top mount coolers that are dual pass

I was interested in this kit but went with a FI Interchiller. It would be awesome to see comparisons in performance and temp recovery with this against the Interchiller.
I have the chiller kit almost ready to install after I get some good baseline logs on everything. I believe I'll be the first to install one on the M157 and I'll have all 3 upgraded heat exchangers up for sale afterwards.

Hopefully this has its own thread. The GAD project seems dead after all these years. The interchiller is a really neat product and I’d like to follow your progress. I have an m157 and an m113k both of which can benefit at the right times.

Subscribed...I was very interested in the interchiller for my E55 but never got around to pulling the trigger...very interested to see the results for the M157.
