By the time we get to the top of third gear, the stock cooler has heat soaked, and the charge temps are up to 124, which is way too hot to safely control knock. While the stock intercooler is struggling in 3\u003csup\u003erd\u003c\/sup\u003e  gear, the ETS intercooler is handling the temps with ease, yielding a 69deg charge air temperature. As the car shifts into 4\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e, the stock intercooler continues to struggle to control the charge air temps, and fails miserably, ending up at 158deg, and even causing timing to be pulled enough that we see   two noticeable dips in power.                     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ETS intercooler on the other hand, is handling the load of 4\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e  gear without issue, and is returning good power throughout the rest of the pull. Charge temps rise to only 91deg, and we see a max power difference of 25hp. This is a considerable improvement over the stock unit, and is a difference you can really feel in the drivers seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"ETS N55 BMW 135i\/335I 7 intercooler\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/2098\/2086\/t\/11\/assets\/bmw9.jpg\" style=\"height: 363px; width: 600px;\" data-original=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/-IKkbiBaPi_M\/U2vFe5YF_uI\/AAAAAAAAFLw\/Do-8UDTDpRI\/w600-h363-no\/bmw9.png\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e30sec.

As illustrated, the ETS intercooler just never gets hot, and even 30seconds after a run through all the gears, the ETS unit is only 69deg while the stock cooler is still over 110deg. These low after pull temps are important because it means that with the ETS intercooler System you ready to make another pull, while the stock cooler is best left to cool down for at least a few minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStage 1 Race Gas\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter all of the design testing was completed, we ran the car on unleaded MS109 racegas and turned up the torque table settings.
