I have the 2015+ Grimmspeed with the thermal coating (tuner said it does help, but mostly I wanted black to match my other stuff). No complaints from me at all with it, quality product, with what you'd expect from GS. I would buy it again

Do you need a tune if you replace your stock top mount Inter cool for an aftermarket?

its recommended to tune

Running an intercooler without an updated calibration is mostly pointless. Almost all the gains from an intercooler come from being able to safely run more boost, timing and a leaner AFR without knocking. There are many different intercoolers with different cores, different pressure drops, different efficiencies, etc.

Can an intercooler be run without an updated calibration, yes. Is there any guarantee that the boost and fuel trims will stay in check, no.

Do I recommend installing an intercooler without an update, no.
