if I wasn't going to get a PRL turbo kit. i'd buy this now lol

I'm curious as to how much this actually helps since this is pre-intercooler

don't forget Pre-Turbo xD

whoever buys this. please share your IAT results before and after installing i was going to put some reflective wrap on the aftermarket PRl inlet.

Yeah please share. With an almost $200 price tag, that could be saved for a good chunk of an upgraded intercooler

I’m tempted to grab one and a turbo blanket..

I have one (from USR though). Just haven't had the time to install yet. Also figuring that if I'm going to have to pull the bumper off, I need to line up any other projects that require having the bumper off too, so I can get them all done at once.

We currently have these in stock, let us know if you'd like to pick one up. This is a great product to pick up with our FMIC and cold air intake to maintain low IATs

@Nathan le
You are showing pictures with the vehicle at idle and you are @17deg F (which is cold already).
You see your IAT2 temperature? That is the more important figure to improve. If you hold boost long enough you will see that IAT2 increase with the stock intercooler. When you come to a stop light, you will see the IAT2 increase again (for lack of air flow and the core getting heat soaked).
An upgraded / higher efficiency intercooler would alleviate the post charge air temperature and provide you with what you wish to achieve - which is combustion efficiency.

You will also transfer less heat by replacing the rubber charge hoses with silicone hoses. Silicone will insulate far better than rubber will.

Hope that provides food for thought....
