sounds good, but we've had this pop up a few times.
driver assist package models have sensors in the front that might interfere with a larger cooler. If you leave us suckers out, then you're shaving off even more of a small market
BMR has one, but nobody knows if it actually does anything. During the dyno runs, perhaps take temp readings?
The general consensus seems to be that there just isnt enough room to go larger. Hopefully someone cracks the code, because meth isnt for everyone. And meth users would still want this.
Yeah I have seen it crop up a few times in the past, and did actually reach out to BMR as well. They did their set-up as a one-off and the sales rep couldn't answer all of my questions since he wasn't there when it was done, and most of their staff is at SEMA currently.
I would definitely take temp readings, the reason I am looking into this, is that I am currently pretty much at a max for boost, due to the IAT2 temps that I am seeing. This seems to be a pretty consistent problem. I have a feeling that something not as tall as the typical FMIC, would be able to tuck in pretty well and work as needed. I have a PP with all available options, except for moonroof and driver assist. As such, I would have no clue if this would work for those with driver assist, and probably would have no real way of finding out, without another guinea pig.
As for meth, I totally agree. Meth is the very last mod on my list of mods, and the only one that I would not be comfortable DDing on. That's not to say it isn't reliable, I just am not comfortable setting up a tune to expect it, and then taking a long trip, with spirited driving, and knowing that I may risk running the tank dry and causing some harm somewhere. I would be a lot more likely to couple meth with a FMIC for a track only type set-up, as I could run a DD tune and still push the car harder than with the stock FMIC.
I believe there are two IAT sensors on the car, one pre and one post of the intercooler. if I am correct on this, those would be the sensors to log during dyno runs. Maybe someone like AJP or ZSHO can chime in on factory temperature monitoring. I know AJP would like to see an intercooler, as we spoke about it a bit after my last set of logs for him.
Whether this is something that others are interested, I will more than likely pursue it down the road (but per their recommendation, will want to get all my other mods done prior to - so I still need to install my downpipes, get EcoPowerParts hot pipes and install those, and do ATP turbos).
This may not happen this winter, but if there is enough interest from people on this, I could possibly expedite my mods/timeframe. I currently have 10,5xx on the car, DD it, and it is only 11 months and 3 days old (Build date was 12/1/15). As such, I am slightly hesitant to do the ATP turbos with it having so much time left on powertrain warranty. Although I know the tune may have cast all warranty aside anyways. Granted the 3.5 Ecoboost is a pretty stout and robust platform, so I should be able to push it no problems. Car already has ~20 drag passes on it (3 the first night out, ~17 the second night out), and that will continue to grow as well.
