FL5 Intercooler Reference Thread

Need to know if new MDR T&F introduces turbo lag on stock (non-tuned) FL5s.

I’m curious about this too. I imagine the greater the volume of the intercooler, the more lag?

This is generally correct. I would caution "taking someone's word for it" without evidence. You will want to see the logs and perform analysis of the boost ramp relative to throttle angle, RPM, and gear.

Yeah, imma wait a while and see feedbacks from people that gets it. And true, without data, its all about the feeling.

... Mine is still stock, on the inside. No intake, exhaust, ECU, or engine upgrades yet.

I'm in the market for an IC and noticed this one by Mishimoto but not heard much talk about it?

Mishimoto is a great option, they're FK8 intercooler was one of the best available. The included charge pipes are also good to have. It represents one of the best values on the market for the FL5 at the moment.
