| TechSpec Note |
This kit is rated for 300-450 whp with maximum limits of approximately 500 whp, or 35 PSI of turbo boost. Exceeding that horsepower or pressure limit may require a larger front-mount intercooler.----Tuning is not necessary after installing our top-mount intercooler and charge-pipe, but you will see optimal performance if tuning is performed after the intercooler is installed.----The top-mount intercooler will not fit with the stock engine cover due to its larger size. |
