KraftWerks Supercharger Kit Info v4.0
Who in the world already decided that this IC doesn't make a noticeable difference?
The only thing we've heard is from Aliencowboy that his temperature coming home the day before installing the IC was 180+ F while the next day w/ IC it was 160 F ish.
Everyone should just hold on and see what the official results from KW are regarding temperature differences before & after IC, and the same except with high boost installed as well (since you can expect temps to get even hotter).
Let's not jump the gun by misunderstanding what one person said. It's not like he was measuring temperatures to see the difference anyways, it's just anecdotal.

Temperatures dropped a few nights ago right before a storm rolled in and oh what a difference.... I am envious of the Canadian Fit Freaks.
Well with speaking with Oscar today was that the temp in the morning +-70 degrees to the afternoon +-107degrees was that the air temp was much different.
Anywho everyone talking about front mounts... It was tested by Sr and the BIG front mount only made +-2hp over the little top mount.

Not specifically the cowl used in the intercooler setup, but you can get a similar carbon fiber (or fiberglass, carbon kevlar, etc) from Rogue Fit.
of a 90* angle where the rogue cowl is like a 45*... sorry not trying to thread jack here
Had a rare night where the IAT was ~120-130 degrees for my whole trip tonight - haven't had this much fun in a while. This kit really screams and is a joy at that temperature, the torque and pull at full boost is so fun! There was also a hill that I had to climb for around 2 minutes straight in 3rd gear, 4-5k rpm with some boost here and there; my IAT went from 130 to 210 in a matter of 10 seconds or so. Definitely want to get it cooler under the hood, seeing those numbers climb so fast was kind of scary (at least to me). I wish more official info regarding the TMIC would come out already!
would like to know as well, it looks like there's space on the cowl to lower it a bit so the piping from the cowl to intercooler could be lowered to allow space for a strut bar, but im sure kw already looked into it
Not that I know of. Maybe KW will dump a metric ton of information one day and will answer all the questions piling up.

it almost is guaranteed that a strut bar is incompatible
I have had 6 front wheel drive cars with McPherson strut front suspensions in the last 27 years and the only one that I had strut tower problems with was dropped and had wide wheels and tires..... I don't do overly wide offsets and stiff dropped suspensions even though the towers on the Fit are beefier than those of car that I had problems with.... I might ad upper and and lower bracing one of these days if I find that it is necessary.... My car tracks well around 45 MPH curves at 100 MPH on dry roads and 95 MPH when wet so I am satisfied..
