Please excuse my lack of knowledge as I'm new to the 996tt (I've had mine about a week now). When I had my 930 I had a Koklen intercooler. The Koklen, in my 930, was huge compared to the stock. What is the difference between all of these intercoolers? It appears that they're all the same size. Thanks.....

 

The EVOMS intercooler is much thicker and a more efficient bar-and-plate core design with better end tanks and much bigger outlets.

 

I see, I didn't notice that it was thicker from the pictures. Thanks for explaining that for me.

 

Anyone know how to get a hold of Blown 6 outside of calling or email? They still haven't refunded my money!

 

EG, did you buy this on the group buy? I bought mines through kilrgt ( Paul ) group buy. At first, I have waited quite a bit for it and I was not getting responses from Blown6, so I have email paul and ask for help. Paul has helped me and stayed on top of it and I have eventually got it after probably a 3 weeks waiting time. Perhaps you can pm him. Hopefully this will help.

 

Hi kcphuah, yes, I bought them through the groupbuy. Thanks for the advice...I'll ping kilrgt.

 

Still no refund from B6 after all this time. A fellow 6speeder has offered a hand to help me out with this ordeal with Michael of Blown 6.

 

That's terrible. I almost bought a set of B6 IC's, but after waiting 3-4 months for shipping, I told them to forget it. I ended up buying a set of EVOMS IC's and couldn't be happier.

Someone should forward them a link to this thread. That might expedite the process???

 

What about the hoses of the Evoms intercoolers?i saw from the pictures that they do not pair with the oem fittings...Is that right?What did you do about it?

 

I paired the EVO ICs with the EVO MS silicone hoses that use a lip for a secure fit and the included genuine hose clamps to them locked down at high boost.

 

Good thinking! Secure them nice and tightly... It's no fun if they pop off under high-pressure and you have to remove the bumper again

 

Zip22's style of installation is the way to go - the B6's as shipped are pretty restrictive compared to the EVOMS. I modified my B6's to make them equivilent to the EVO or perhaps a hair better from a flow standpoint, by cutting off the OEM style fittings and welding on 70mm aluminum tubing. This is a cost efficient mod to the B6's and is very easily done for between $100-$200 in welding fees. Here is a picture:





And here is an example of the difference in air passage - on the left is our 70mm intake kit with 70mm Y-Pipe / 70mm silicon hose, which demonstrates how the flow is enhanced by the elimination of the OEM fittings and on the right is a blown 6 IC fitting, which is the same as the OEM Y-Pipe fitting (these fittings are the most restictive part of the intake track and occur pre IC / post IC and Pre Y-Pipe for a total of 3 restrictive points). You can see by these pictures how much better a 70mm system and the EVOMS IC's will flow, but in order to take full advantage, you must replace the Y-Pipe, as well or you still have the restriction entering the Y-Pipe:

 

Good news! After over 6 months Anthony of Blown6 came through and sent my refund check! Wooohooo!!!

Thank you Anthony!


Just ordered John's Speetech 700 as a reward! :-)

 

Wow that is horrible customer service. I have never bought anything from them but after hearing this I will never.

 

yup, same here. That is one of my upgrades this winter and I am staying away. I know UMW is working on making a set and Evoms has theirs.
