I've had nothing but problems with my stillen kit, the kit heat soaks so fast youll have 460 whp when u start it up, drive for a few mins in 80 degree + weather and the kit only puts out 370whp. Im fed up with the kit aswell as the car.
The overall design is weak, intake tubes, MAF postion.. The cooling system is a JOKE.
I was thinking about upgrading the cooling, new res. new piping, new intercooler.
upgrade the pulley and impeller, and MAF sensors. But why? this stuff should of been done in the R&D .
Im taking the kit out next week and replacing with a single turbo set up.
And ill never look back at stillen, for ANYTHING.
Poor design.
Thought id add, not to talk down on anyone that has stillen kit, If its working for you.. all the power to you.

Heat soak is a problem with the "other" kit as well, of course... would be interesting to see some data on this

Dumb question. How are you planning to up grade the intercooler?

I tried to find the heat exchanger on frozen boost not sure if it will fit because I already have an auto cooler and a 34 core oil cooler. Please let me know how you find the new heat exchanger very keen to find out the results

It will fill you will have to move some things around but it will, Going to look like a front mount intercooler. The GTM guys have no problems running the tranny and oil coolers with their Front mounts.
