GEN 2 COBB Intercooler oem replacement

[Nick@Apollo-Optics]

Cobb vs SVC? Thoughts? Positives and negatives of both? Or are we just splitting hairs.

Are their differences? Absolutely. Are we splitting hairs? Yes. Either one is a great option. One nice benefit to the SVC is that it does have a bracket for the ACC sensor, if equipped. COBB does not. But we're about a week away from solving that problem

@COBB Tuning are there different OTS maps for Cobb stock location IC and larger Cobb IC?

Stage 2 Maps are the same for both intercoolers.

Splitting hairs but I prefer Full Race over both.

Why's that?

Why's that?

Not answering for @nikhsub1, but a FMIC delivers max cooling/flow. And therefore more performance.

Why's that?

Because Full Race uses Garrett cores - not sure what SVC uses and I'm pretty sure Cobb is chinese made...

I believe SVC uses CBR cores

I’m very interested in the Cobb but I have acc, how big of an issue does this intercooler swap create ?

I’m doing the SVC intercooler and since I have a stock front bumper and keeping it for now there’s no need for relocating the ACC sensor.

If you have the stock bumper, it's no issue. If you have an aftermarket bumper, we have an ACC relocation kit that works with the COBB intercooler.

COBB lists both the FMIC and the stock location as being made in the USA.
