❓ FAQs
Q: Top mount or front mount?
A: full size front mount will give the best results every time. The top mount is a compromise that suffers from heat soak, we haven’t seen great results from any of the upgraded top mount options either, they perform the same or only slightly better than the plastic factory intercooler.
Q: Do I need a tune?
A: No tuning required for install.
Q: What brand is it?
A: BRD – A leading 1KD performance parts manufacturer based in Thailand
