Bravo alpha compared to whoosh v3

Keep it short BA!! For tha win

Who me? Nah, I just installed mine, hence no bumper sag and the stock crash bar. I have the original DHM intercooler and crash bar that I may sell.

Tough I wanted the DHM intercooler more than the BA couldn’t find one! Lmk about the crash bar though!!

I need to get the DHM re-welded and polish it up before I attempt to sell it. The crash bar is more or less in perfect condition after wipe down. It’s one of the originals. I purchased both in October 2015.

Ever think about selling the crash bar I’m the guy! How did that DHM intercooler run for you! I really like the BravoAlpha as it’s performance is amazing

DHM is pretty much identical in performance. I might have had a single degree better on intake temps on the DHM with the crash bar and hollowed our grill. Everything does fit perfectly with the race crash bar and IC. No rubbing or anything. I think my issue is that I let hard cold side IC pipe touch the aluminum end tank couplers. The bumps and vibrations over a few years probably caused the crack. I will likely sell both together when I get it fixed... you can’t use the IC without the race bar.

^^^You were running the DHM IC/bar setup on a FACTORY snail?!?

There was no pressure drop, or lag induced by our minuscule turbo trying to push through that cavernous heat exchanger?!?

I wouldn’t know any better if it did, but DHM claimed it didn’t. I only drove the car stock for a few days so I don’t remember what the stock IC felt like. Going from the DHM to the BA, it feels similar. I’m still on the stock turbo. I’d like to go bigger turbo this year but still trying to determine which one to get.
