Background: Evaluating intercooler options for a bicooler upgrade has produced two candidates to replace the eBay FMIC on my GTI, the Treadstone TR8L and Vibrant 12810. The task now is to piece together data to try and evaluate how these products compare in terms of cooling and airflow performance with the eBay Majesty v2 intecooler

Background: Two aspects of intercooler performance that I have interest in knowing about are cooling efficiency and pressure drop across the core. This test is being performed to assess pressure drop by measuring airflow. The test subject is an Integrated Engineering intercooler for the Mk7 GTI / Golf R. The IE intercooler is a stock
