I know, I saw on FB. Just kind of blows they didn't announce it in here for us guys lol. Wouldn't have mattered anyways, I was snoozing when they put the announcement up.

It sold out that fast? $1300 + $3400 (from FA20 Club for a Innovate kit with tune) is a tough pill to swallow for the performance you get.
Lets hope they can find about 30whp from the IC kit.

I'm with Innovate on this one. The kit makes sense for the power you get at $3400 or so. But for $4700, there is a lot more competition.

It was a smart move on their part. I doubt anyone would have gone that route, myself included, at that price point. From the small knowledge I have I doubt you will realistically see much more than 10whp. I am waiting till I see a real world before after before I buy it. Something tells me a vendor will find a way to show huge gains with it.

The problem is that nobody should be deciding on their forced induction kit of choice based on WHP per dollar. People should be deciding based on what their goals are and what they can financially afford. The people that still wanted the best performing twin screw supercharger would have paid the extra money for the intercooler at the time. It was the only option I would have ever considered, but I am now glad that I didn't wait for them to eventually bring it out.

I agree. the IC is not about the power numbers its about reliability, repeatability and stability of power delivery.

its just IAT to me

Innovate Motorsports · 09-13-2013, 02:25 PM

Greetings all, the intercooler package that will be offered by Innovate Motorsports is not identical to the system currently available over seas. This is the reason the intercooling system has not been released yet. There are fitment differences that required some modifications to be made to make sure it could be 100% plug and play. The system that will be released will have 3 major advantages of purchasing gray market. The first being that our intercooler will be available in a version with a complete super charger system (pre-installed in the plenum). We will also have a more accessible MSRP in upgrade kit form. Lasty, because it would be an Innovate part, the product will have complete US warranty support unlike any gray market offering. While it sure is not fun to wait, the product will be right upon release and at a fair price point.

Indeed. I'm purchasing the @FA20Club.com intercooler kit mainly for reliability, repeatability, and stability. The way that I'm approaching my modding is to build something similar to a supercharged car from the factory... and then some.

I'm already pretty damn satisfied with the power w/out (base tune) the intercooler so any extra would be an added bonus.

It's technically not grey market or is it? Maybe, maybe not.

I love how the following 3 replies in the Innovate supercharger owners thread are from people without the innovate kit poking fun at it.
