Being that GH intercoolers are the go to and unobtainable. I have a 16 PP I repaired as a salvage car. It's a toy for me. I have catless downpipes with 4 inch oval pipe side dump exhaust. It's GH tuned. Has anyone tried to use the other ecoboost platforms intercooler? I don't have a front bumper cover just a police push bumper so I have plenty of room

Which other EB IC were you looking at? Also, do you need a tune revision if you're just lowering air temps?

I did my own, it’s just a matter of choosing one, get a universal IC piping kit and various silicone couplers and clamps and you should be able to make nearly anything work. 089E26A1 9544 4336 9BFB F1D1AE86494287F0A8D8 F3A6 450E 9CA7 38C80342C7DB
This is a TreadStone TR10C rated at just over 1000 cfm good for up to over 650hp. Now too small for my needs, up for sale.

I've compared the dimensions of the Tr10C to the TR8C. Curious does the TR10C prevent reinstall of grill?

Mine can fit the grille, but I deleted the grille before adding it and kept the same grilless look.

Did he leave controls , pump, wiring in place and just unplug it's power?

AEM has PDF instructions on how to test, set up wiring and such, and is pump above or below washer tank? If it's above you'll need to prime, which basically is using some sort of source for vacuum, and priming up the lines and pump with fluid. Pump doesn't do well or not work at all if it has to move air. My lesson learned. Then force engage and flush out everything in system. Check year on pump too. She might be due for leaks from age. And rubber grommet on tank, known to leak due to higher concentration of methanol in washer tank.

Good, depending on pump location, add the power but have nozzle in like a bucket, aem has test button so you can force it to engage for short bursts. Unsure what tuner your using but AJP recommends tune be accomodated. He tunes it to be not dependent on meth but handle it when it engages. If you don't car over time will assume it will always get meth, and if it doesn't, things go bad. Really it's great for cleaning, cooling and when not tuned to be dependent you still get a good bump in HP and TQ. GH can tune it the same way too. Check for leaks, and you should be good. Good deal for you, you didn't have to spend hours to do install.
