The intercooler is fairly efficient (and a better design than before). It just needs more airflow. Removing the hood vent shroud will help a fair amount!
@savagegeese -- I find it interesting that the ITS makes more power/torque than the CTR with about 4lbs less boost. Must be a different timing map.
Also, curious if you felt the aero difference at high speeds. The CTR makes substantial rear downforce at 200kph.
I'm coming from a 911 and a new VB WRX--the FL5 rides like a dream in comfort mode in comparison. Even Sport is not terrible to be honest. Haven't actually used +R in any meaningful way here in New England.
So turns out this is a problem for other vehicles as well and the fix is an infotainment firmware update. Hoping Honda works on this ASAP.
