Hey there lestat,

Fitment on the Wagner was fine. Just needed to trim the tabs off the OEM rubber IC surround, which wasn’t a big deal. Install walkthrough here.

Switched (2) of the supplied screw type hose clamps to T-bolt clamps documented here to address a mild boost leak that wouldn’t go away.

Koyorad is compatible with Wagner Intercooler. Just need to grind down a small portion of the radiator frame so it doesn’t rub against one of the silicone hoses. Documented the needed adjustments here.

The complete Koyorad installation walkthrough begins here.

I will be upgrading to a PWR race radiator soon and will post that as well. TBD whether it will be compatible with the Wagner silicone hoses, but am hopeful.

If interested, a full table of contents to a variety of build topics with clickable links can be found by scrolling to the bottom of the first post here.

Turbo boost leak check, which is highly recommended following any FMIC change
Begins here
:)
Awesome info thank you!
