    GrimmSpeed 08+ WRX/LGT Top Mount Intercooler - Any Interest?

    in Turbo Powertrains (2.0GT, 2.5GT, 2.5XT)

    Posted

    From the email this morning.

     

     

    Good morning! This is a very exciting update for us, because as I type this, the final piece of the puzzle is coming together! The entire production run at the foundry*is complete and outlet end tanks (as well as the turbo adapters) are being machined! What you see above is an outlet end tank fixtured up so that the bypass valve feature can be machined. That includes face milling the flange surface before boring the center hole and tapping the mounting holes. All intercoolers will ship with M6 studs installed, ready for your BPV/BOV. This makes installation much easier and prevents the risk of crossthreading, which is very easy to do when bolting to aluminum on other intercoolers.

     

    Not pictured is the machining operations on the 2-bolt turbo adapter. This adapter is cast and then machined for a perfect fit and features a relief for the o-ring that we've spec'd and will be including. It's a beautiful thing to see these coming together, knowing that just weeks ago they were massive chunks of raw aluminum!

     

    What's Next?

     

    With this, we're ready to shoehorn these bad boys into our welding schedule and start packing them up! WRX and LGT production splitters will be wrapped up and powdercoated by then so that we're ready to ship! We've put everything else aside to make a hard push to get these shipping by the end of the year!

     

    A quick note regarding the Group Buy. We've had a number of requests for us to start the group buy early and accept pre-payment so that the Group Buy doesn't get in the way of holiday shopping. We completely understand and are going to do our best to accommodate. You can look for a Group Buy thread to begin in the first week of December and since you're on this email list, you'll also receive notice here. Thanks again for all of your support and patience! We're THRILLED with how these are turning out.

     

    Just a reminder that we've also published pricing. We were able to come in under our target and hit an MSRP below $1000. Some dealers will be selling for below $900 and*our group buy will be below $800. That's including TMIC, mounting brackets, silicone couplers and splitters. Music to my ears!
