:: ECS Tuning :: Forge Intercooler Upgrade Kit Equals Bigger HP
Leave it Forge Motorsport to accept the challenge and improve on an already brilliant design. Reporting gains of up to 40 HP due to a significant drop in intake temperature, it's safe to say they succeeded. Forge started by improving airflow through the intercoolers with the use of enlarged 60mm silicone hoses and continued with a redesign of the intercooler end tanks. Then with the charge air sorted, they looked at the cooling air that passes over the intercooler. Their testing showed that the original OEM ducting performed brilliantly. Forge created a true direct replacement kit by designing the intercoolers to install perfectly with all the OEM mounts.

These kits are really that good !! Independent testing has proven that cooler charged air from the 60mm silicone pipes along with the redesigned intercooler end tanks proved to make a world of difference, giving it an extra 40 HP.
The independent data you're looking for is from Regal Autosport. For more information about the power gains Click Here

Okay so you answered my question by saying someone else has tested the intercoolers but you have not tested them yourselves for one and number two testing intercoolers on a dyno is not the way to test them properly so Regal's test is flawed!!!!
We need to see real data, proper hardcore testing from top end to track work.
It is easy to bolt on a set of coolers on the car blow alot of cool air at them and show an increase in hp figures!!!!
