Its a GO!

Thanks to the Dr. and Andy for the huge effort in the testing! Sorry we haven't gotten back to NAM regarding the results in a timely manner. Many of the final details were being worked out.

The performance from the core is much better than expected, and with a couple of minor changes to the core, its a go! The Only drawback to the core is the cooling isn't quite as good as we hoped, but it still makes more power, and flows more than the stock Intercooler and the current Alta TMIC. The minor changes to the core will bring cooling efficiency up to the same as stock with out suffering any pressure drop. So even better cooling, and same pressure drop as the current design will make even more than it does now.

Now is the time to give us some feed back as to some options people would like to see.
-One suggestion made previously was an exhaust fan. The IC will either come with, or have as an option mounts on the back for them.
-The water squirter nozzle will be part of it.
-The color of the diverter is up in the air.
-Larger scoop is a possibility.

One of the goals with this IC is to keep the price the same as the existing part, so things like the fans, scoop, and other things will add to the cost. In the end these may be an option to be more price competative.

Please feel free to make any comments or suggestions.
