Best Intercooler for Stock Location?

[Brad_hartpro]

Waiting for my Wagner Tuning intercooler to arrive. Hoping it will do as advertised and drop these intake temps a bit. 115-140F temps rob so much power.

So the Wagner needs the oil cooler to be relocated? Will that interfere with my plans to install a S8 lightbar behind the grill?

I just can’t decide if I wanna go stock location or fmic... I would love to know what the comparison between a Mishimoto or CVF would be versus a Cobb or ADD fmic

I too am on the fence with this. Don’t know if FMIC provides better performance or just better clearance for certain bumpers. Was thinking full COBB Stage 2 but don’t want the ass pain of the FMIC install. Now thinking COBB with AMS intercooler. Appreciate the education.

I finished installation of my Wagner Tuning IC yesterday. Oil cooler is relocated about 2.5-3” higher using supplied brackets, horn bracket has to be slightly modified (bend the locating tab to allow a bit of clockwise rotation). The instructions suck a** and a lot of the install you just have to figure out on your own. The biggest PITA was installing the IC WITH fans attached. Due to the oil cooler lines the fan motors barely clear with some coercion. You will NOT get the fans installed separately, you must install together.
The Wagner unit is very high quality and looks the part.

Shouldn’t interfere with light at behind grille. I have a 30” behind my grille and have had zero issues.

I think the CVF install is much easier than that from others on here have reported.

Wow, the CVF looks really nice! I wonder why it’s so much cheaper than others?

People on here that have bought it says it’s a quality unit, and a direct replacement for the factory.

The OEM replacement intercooler has been really popular lately. We've gotten a ton of calls for stock location intercoolers. We only have a few of the Wagner intercoolers left in stock!

Shoot us a PM, call us or check us out online.

I just finished installing the Mishimoto in black today. The whole job was a major PITA with the passenger side hoses and the fans. The skid plate wasn't as bad as I though, especially because I had to do it twice because I forgot to snap the fan grommets in and had to drop the skid plate to get them. I would have done the CVF (great price) but they were out of black. Up next is UPR dual sided catch can.
