    I'm kind of surprised to hear that the GP intercooler is so good. I thought that I would be told the direct flow type were better.
    If I go with W/M should I also get a GP intercooler?
    Because of my budget I will have to do them one at a time so I would do the W/M first. Unless I should wait and do them at the same time.

    Of course both would be the best all around combo, IMO if you have to chose which first go back to one of my earlier posts.

    Track time:
    GPIC - W/M

    Street/Drag
    W/M - GPIC

    I run a GP IC with a Jeff Howerton Meth Kit and I only use 100% VP M1 Meth.

    Meth does good things to your car without even being tuned for it. Cooler Air and fuel, and it cleaning keeps Carbon build up down. If you have your car custom tuned for it you can also take advantage of the much higher octane levels when its blended with 93 fuel.

    It should be a must have on any 2nd Gen DI car.

    Just got done with this....WOW..... This is an absolute MUST for anyone interested in W/M. I found the part on how some of the lesser expensive "boost based" systems may not be as appropriate as you would think for Supercharged cars.

    A+
