Saturday the Apikol guys came by to help install a short shifter for my UrS4. They brought some goodies along, including their new A4 Side Mount IC upgrade. This thing looks very nice and very high quality. It is about 50% larger and has over 30% greater flow area. It will also fit directly in place of the stock Side mount using factory mounting and plumbing hardware...with NO extra trimming or fumbling around.

Although official numbers are not yet released, charge air intake temps are expected to be reduced by around 25 degrees, perhaps more. For under $600, this will be an excellent and cost effective upgrade for those who do not want to hassle with a FMIC install. Availability and performance updates will be coming soon.

This would be even better if it included a second intercooler of the same design.

I agree, and at first I thought that's what they had done - missed opportunity for a 5 year-old car

but the number of guys who want to do a set up like that may not be worth the R&amp;D. There are some that have done the dual side set up with stockers, and for them they can at least upgrade one of them, for even more gains.

2nd this. I'd be interested in either option.

1) reverse IC design for pass side
2) measure flow and identify restrictions based on OEM DSMIC piping
3) alleviate restrictions, if any, as needed
4) sell to us

Hmm.... a competitor for Tyrolsport.

the process with Brian and Brendan, it became obvious that it is not really that simple. The cost associated with producing the end tanks alone is rediculous, and I think it is not so easy as to just "reverse" the mold. However if we can gauge enough interest here, and possibly take some pre-orders then it may be feasible.

Thanks for the comments
