Go air to water...

I've seen a couple of your posts stating you moving to water to air, but I've not found a post discussing or describing it.  Is there a post of your water to air IC conversion?  If there isn't one, WOULD you?  I'd LOVE to see/read it.

:bow:

how has it been working for you?  That looks like an off the shelf unit that you then customized for dual air inlet?  What are you using for filters on the fresh air side of turbos?

Common core for both turbos
Boss for drain plug
1 psi less drop across the intercooler than last prototype
Hopefully before SEMA in October
Re-tune will be required

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Did he mention why a new tune would be necessary?

It doesn't matter to.me, I am GH tuned, but I'm curious why it's needed.

Not specifically.  But it would be fair to assume that the signicant alteration in efficiency is the reason.  Much like adding ATP turbos would be.  Have seen this on the Edge as well.

To the best of my knowledge the tune needs to compensate for the added pressure drop of the upgraded intercooler. (rumored to be ~2psi). i want to say it was a "pressure ratio" table that needed the adjustment? i know it can be tuned for 10-12 and 13+. i'm really hoping brad can work his magic with it. maybe he can provide some insight

Oh my cotton socks... that looks good.  SHOdded, when you say hopefully before SEMA, is that meaning that hopefully they will be on sale to the public then, or what?

Can someone narrow what "Gearhead" we're talking about?  There a LOT of "Gearhead" on facebook...  I've even found quite a few "Gearhead Motorsports".  Can someone give an address or a show what icon to look for on facebook?
