Mishimoto v/s PRL v/s 27WON Intercooler

[arpypat]

Just to add an option, I went with the Wagner Intercooler, with their piping on the stock turbo. IAT2 just stays 7-10 over ambient, even after a 0-220km/h acceleration (so ~30 seconds of full boost). What is more, it seems that it has very low pressure drop (even with piping / compared to 27WON) and I have noticed increased air flow at the same pressure level (MAP) which probably means the turbo works a little bit more efficiently (we all know we push the stock turbo beyond efficiency at times...)
Here is the EU site version but I know they have a shop in the US too : https://www.wagner-tuningshop.de/pr...r-kit-honda-civic-15vtec-turbo-200001114.html

The wagner kit is $890 w/piping from MAP

Im happy with mine. It was between a black mishimoto or Garrett. PRL has a logo on the front that i dont care for.

PRL ships naked, but comes with a stencil to add logo if you wanna

I would pick either the PRL or 27Won intercooler. Both offer a nice sized intercooler core and the piping is a big step up in size. As for the mishimoto intercooler the piping isnt much bigger than stock. Personally I am leaning towards PRL because of those gorgeous billet end tanks. But I do really like the look of the black intercooler and piping 27Won offers

Also 27won has slightly larger charge pipes than PRL, though I’ve read that can be good and bad.

I loved the look of 27WON intercoooler, but unfortunately I’m too impatient and already got my tax money and went with PRLs intercooler and charge pipes because I didn’t want to wait until the end of April for them to be back in stock.

I will be pulling the trigger on W1 turbo though here pretty soon

Congratulations!! You are just like the rest of us addicts: impatient and wanting a good "fix".

Love my intercooler but didnt like my mechanics excuse for high cost to install, should have done it myself but... impatient. its a vicious circle..

Think Im going to "self-quarantine" in my Si around the corner at 85mph for a while.... Enjoy

Any data from someone running this IC?

Data-logs of 27Won FMIC is up. An upgraded intercooler is a must with this platform, OEM intercooler gets heat-soaked way too quickly.

Does the Wagner intercooler fits the stock charge pipes?
