Excellent news.

 

[ATXStinger]

Yes more options.

To bad it's not out now. Mine is getting a new stock intercooler thanks to an 18wheeler tire in the interstate

Ouch sorry to hear, was it bad?

 

[STINGER]

Nice, I hope it is the whole thing with the piping and the y-pipe with the BOV flanges etc.

Great to see more selections. Still surprised [MENTION=217]Jonnytig[/MENTION] hasn't released theirs since its been done for a long time.

Waiting on full release once tuning is sorted. No point trying to sell a product with tuning software to back it up. Been along wait......But its finally off to dyno tomorrow to get sone tuning sorted. Then we can see the scope of cooler upgrade. I hate selling a product that hasnt been proven. My apologies guys. Should have everything finalised next week. Hoping for around 350rwkw on pump gas. Then we will see how we go with some e85 ????

Kindest regards Jon

Not horrible. But bad enough. I?ll end up with a new bumper, intercooler and trans coolers. But everyone was ok so that?s the big thing

Hey Jon, good to get an update from you. We certainly miss your updates.

That is good news.....Wait!!...so you guys finally cracked the ECU encryption?....E85??.....Am I dreaming??

Nope but it has been done. You guys in US should start to see reflash software available real soon. We have several places in Australia with reflash software now and yes tuned to E85. We have gone down the path of Unichip to begin with as its non intrusive to the ECU so it cant be picked up. Just unplug and its back to stock and no one is any wiser. It made 322rwkw on a mainline dyno so back on our DD we should see around 340rwkw. Still very safe with tuning, AFRs still on rich side in mid 11s. We have a bit more work to do with it and then onto the e85. I think we will crack the 400rwkw very soon. Our products can now finally be released. Just tweaking a few things with intake lids. Will post it all up soon

Kindest regards Jon

Are there any updates from Wagner on this?

Are there any updates from Wagner on this?

I emailed them a week ago asking when it will be available and if it is just an intercooler or a complete kit with piping, the reply was "we will let you know once it is available" with no ETA or details. Doesn't seem like it is on the priority list for them.

 

[robz32]

Well, that is disappointing.

We should all start emailing them about the progress, maybe if they see the interest, they will pay more attention to it.
Like what we did with AEM to have them make a CAI for the 3.3

Jonny Tig?s intercooler is simply amazing! I?m sure other brands are going to be great too but I?m just saying from experience because I own some of his fine products and the intercooler especially is a beast of all beasts.

My issue so far is that the intercooler options are either marginally better than stock or just too massive and aggressive.

There needs to be a middle-road intercooler. One that's merely an inch taller and an inch wider. Call it a "mild" intercooler, if you will. I'm not looking to add too much weight to the front since the car is already 52/48, so I'm debating on alky injection since that adds the least overall weight while adding significant cooling power.

*shrug* I can only hope someone will release a "slightly" bigger Stage 1 intercooler.

Ultimate Performance intercooler. I am using this product and it is amazing. Perfect fit and flows so much better than stock. No more heat soak from stop light to stop light and much better throttle response.
