Just thought Id relate my impressions of the Hyperflow TMIC after Hyperflow has allowed me to run with it for a few days after they used my car for final fitting and assessment - thanks Blake
now these are purely my impressions and NOT Dyno results on performance gains
Firstly, Im very fussy about the quality, build and even the look of mods and fitment issues. I like the look of this TMIC- yes it is not packaged up neatly with a cover etc but it looks good in the engine bay and the build quality looks excellent with very neat welds etc. I ll be going with the black powder coated surround and polished core. It is obviously larger than the factory and in terms of performance gains, well -
the car feels less asthmatic, torque feels like it has increased in all gears most noticeable from 3rd onwards though and it seems to keep pulling for longer past 5500 rpm on a couple of long sprints, which would obviously be the case with a cooler denser charge from the larger TMIC and it being able to heat soak the turbos hot air for longer. In summary there is a definite improvent in performance, not mind blowing but definitely noticeable. I m really keen now to get new dump pipe and tune to see how well all these work with the TMIC.
On the prototype there is slight fitment issue on the back edge of the shroud being too high and hitting the intake hood lining- Hyperflow are well aware of this and making final adjustments to be fixed on the final product.
Ill be getting one - AND it is a locally made and quality product.
