Watched this to guide me to install my 3.5 Depo. The factory clips off the old intercooler for the Depo lower brackets didn’t fit so I had to go buy a couple nuts for the factory bolts to secure it back to the car. Great video btw!
I was unsure if I will go big turbo or not so I just went with it that way if I do I have it and it still makes a hell of a difference. Compaired to the cpe its almost identical and much cheaper thats why i went with depo
Imo its all branding because there such a huge known brand in the industry and they do make great products they will charge more over a smaller company because they can and people will pay the extra for there name
I went with the Mishimoto IC that I found on Ebay for 480, 512 shipped. Said pre-owned but the thing doesn't have a blemish on it, so I think maybe it was just open box or a return or something. Couldn't pass up saving 180 to 200. It's the gold/yellow one though, I wanted the silver, but it's w.e you can't see it that much to really matter at the moment. It came with hardware for the sensor, but no brackets. Hmm. I haven't installed yet, was thinking about doing that today, but I may not be able to if it's missing brackets that I need. Update, just installed it.
no upgrading the charge pipes on the stock turbo doesn’t really do anything. you might need to upgrade the clamps to t bolt clamps instead of the factory worm gear clamps. that’ll keep them from popping off but other than that the stock ones are fine
Hey, good video. I'm in the process of prepping mine for install, you showing the brackets helped. Especially when you showed that you swapped the lower one in the end. My question is, did you end up using the stock clip-nut for the lower factory bolt? th-cam.com/video/qDQk4GYUS-0/w-d-xo.html I see you have the bolt coming down from the top, and can't tell for sure if you have the nut on it. I'm just wondering if I need to buy a nut for that factory bolt for this before I tear mine down and do the install.
Im running a piggy back on mine with the stock IC, heat soak is a MFer, will the 3.5 be able to improve this, I daily it in the desert as well so 110+ degrees in the summer.
@@Nickjoenap not to disagree but you should have it tuned within the week or so. Although it won't damage anything persay but it could make your car run weird

I absolutely love my 2014, just did this mod using your vid. Just awesome!!

What nuts did you get? I just got mine today for my 2016 and I’m trying to figure out what the bolt size is.
Great video mate really enjoyed it 👍
Great video I got the depo 5.5" intercooler makes a giant difference.
Jeffery Swift Yeah I figured since I don’t have plans to go big turbo the 3.5 was enough but I’m sure the 5.5 is crazy
I was unsure if I will go big turbo or not so I just went with it that way if I do I have it and it still makes a hell of a difference. Compaired to the cpe its almost identical and much cheaper thats why i went with depo
Jeffery Swift that’s probably a safe choice. I don’t see how the CPE can be worth how much more it is. Depo is great quality
Imo its all branding because there such a huge known brand in the industry and they do make great products they will charge more over a smaller company because they can and people will pay the extra for there name
The Depo intercoolers are constantly sold out. That says a lot.
I got the mishimoto intercooler 👍🏻 great vid man

The biggest and baddest intercoolers for your St
Depo beast
Cpe heavyweight
Garrett IC
I finally picked up an accessport and this is my next purchase! (For $350 why wouldn't I?)
Did the intercooler set on top of the clip or under the clip on the radiator?
How long it took you to get it shipped? I just ordered mine but haven’t even received a order yet
Did the sensor automatically fit onto the new Depo? Or did you have to hollow out the hole with a dremel to make it fit (on the sensor not IC) ?
I had to take the metal piece out of the hole then it fit
Great video! Seriously thinking about this cooler.
It’s been great!
@@Nickjoenap Just ordered! Hopefully I'll get it soon!
Bro u already got the bumper off like that's isn't part of the install
hey bro, what size wheel spacers are u running? u have good fitment
20mm
@@Nickjoenap tnx 🤙🏽
Did you ever upgrade your charge pipes? I got the same ic for my 18 st, but I’m worried about blowing off the stock charge pipes
no upgrading the charge pipes on the stock turbo doesn’t really do anything. you might need to upgrade the clamps to t bolt clamps instead of the factory worm gear clamps. that’ll keep them from popping off but other than that the stock ones are fine
Did you have to do anything special after removing the AGS and installing the IC? I’m getting a code and it’s putting me in limp mode
i didn’t have to do anything

I believe I used the factory one or one that came in the kit. I didn’t have to buy anything extra
Question: what made u decide for the depo 3.5 FMIC instead of the 5.5FMIC(beast mode) I am looking for which one of those to pick
i just didn’t need the 5.5 on stock turbo so i didn’t spend the extra money
Im running a piggy back on mine with the stock IC, heat soak is a MFer, will the 3.5 be able to improve this, I daily it in the desert as well so 110+ degrees in the summer.
Yeah I’ve been told the 3.5 is more than enough for stock turbo. I’m sure the 3.5 will fix your problem but a 5.5 could be better
What splitters are you running?
It’s two broken pieces from a Cadillac CTS splitter lol

Twist the black pads in the front of the engine bay all the way down
the whole shutter system is trash, i got rid of that stuff when i first got my car
Great video! How did the tune go ?
It was great, the video on it will be up Saturday
Do you need to spray the adhesive?
you can use hairspray too
@@Nickjoenap ah okay
@@Nickjoenap do I need the active shutters? I tried installing this intercooler but it wouldn’t fit in because of it
@@ivann510 no you have to take them out

List of tools needed?
And never taken my front bumper off before. Is it just clips?
30$ refund shit id ask for a full refund for damaged product
Ummm you should be tuned if you’re running this stuff
You should do all your mods before getting tuned, I drove without a tune for a while and it was fine
@@Nickjoenap not to disagree but you should have it tuned within the week or so. Although it won't damage anything persay but it could make your car run weird
There’s a whole forum stating you don’t need to.
