any updates on this?

doesnt the new 2014 JCW CMS come with more hp & tq? If that's the case, then it may be a simple ECU tune with upsized IC, revised intake, and better exhaust flow? correct me if i'm wrong

I've got the jcw cooler in the garage. Looks like the radiator supports are different in the jcw. Looks like it's going to be a custom job. I'm interested in what anyone else has to add. Kaikai, did you just get the cooler?

My jcw fmic isnt in yet but i checked my radiator and the two side-plastic covers look to be just the proper size for the top of the jcw fmic to sit on. I am only visually checking so cannot confirm. My parts wont be in until april.

Are you gonna install it pretty soon?

I'm taking it in for an alignment and corner balance a week from Monday after I get the v3's and sway bar in. I'm going to have my mechanic do it, as he quoted 150. He can make a custom mount if need be. I'll fill you in on the final product.

It went in beautifully. Just trim the plastic molding on the driver side of the radiator to allow the upper tab to fit. We braced the top of the cooler with foam. The cooler is solid with the lower mounts and something to brace the top. No extra parts needed.

Do you happen to have any pictures comparing the stock S intercooler to the JCW one?

Any news regarding the performance between stock CMS IC and the JCW IC?

For the price, if it performs 20-30% better its a worthwhile upgrade.
