Thanks.
We did not dig the angles either when we first had that made.
We tested the intercooler outside of the car (so in front of the bumper) against the same core with the regular kind of end tanks.
Didn't do anything at all.
Due to packaging constraints and how we had to change the shapes of the tubing we learnt an awful lot about what does and does not make a difference.
Even the core manufacturer was surprised because they never tried anything like this and initially said we would ideally need cast end tanks which were smooth.
Many of the kit parts are built by different companies. TTS supply the superchargers and make some of the components for us.
Some aspects of the kit may change as it's a little over engineered and maybe a little over the top. We are exploring ideas of carbon plenums, simpler bracket setup and taking production of certain parts to the USA.
Performance wise we have definitely named it wrong as it's competing with the market leading higher HP kits. The naming was based on our own dyno dynamics numbers.
It's been a really enjoyable journey for us personally here at Evolve making this kit and those that are paying the slightly higher price tag are being rewarded with a very top of the line production and some very nice torque/response on the road.
Our daily driver has the 6.7 PSi kit setup and we absolutely love driving it.
