Has anyone else received the kit yet?

I need to see more pictures to help with the wait.

Jeremy said two weeks for me

What does the FR CAC give you other than a better mounting location, no condensation problem and better cooling for performance mods?
Maybe never mind as I just read Geno's review and it seems additional power may be part of it. I wonder how it would provide more power.

Turbos are confusing.
Larger intercoolers generally have less pressure drop even though they cool better. People get confused about the application of PV=nRT, thinking if you drop the temp in an intercooler, the pressure must drop also but that's not how it works.

But if the pressure drop of the stock cooler goes away, you still won't gain boost. Boost pressure is on a PID controller, so basically the ECM will just compensate by changing the pulsewidth signal to the wastegates, thereby holding them more open to achieve boost pressure setpoint. This, of course, also gains power due to less pumping losses from lower turbine drive pressure.

Clear as mud?

Sounds a lot like an Entabulator
