Absolutely I’m happy with my investment.. even without seeing the finished product. Will keep y’all posted when it arrives !So all-in-all, it's a pretty good bargain considering the costs of both individual items.

is anyone concerned about turbo lag with it being the largest core available?
This ^ it was designed to not have any. Read the description on their websiteThere will be no turbo lag with the intercooler.
Are those 2 red horns on the right OEM?
Even so, they need to be in front of the rad
What’s the green thing above the crash bar ?Well I managed to make it all work. I'll see if I can make a detailed write-up on it later, but I've driven about 1k KMs on it so far without issues. No noticeable increase in turbo lag/transient response, but a huge difference in IATs.
I thought I had left a sensor unplugged when I was watching the IATs stay around 5-10*C above ambient after consecutive 3-4 gear pulls because with the stock intercooler the IATs would skyrocket.
I did have to make a couple of small notches in the back of the stock crash bar, but nothing to be concerned about. Also had to trim the top radiator shroud a little bit, but it's also still mainly intact. All in all, a successful experiment in my opinion, all for $420 CAD. And it still looks OEM from the front with the bumper on

What brand is intercooler is that and what other parts did you need to make it fit? Where did you purchase everything?Well I managed to make it all work.

Chris, that may be the foam block in back of the bar.What’s the green thing above the crash bar ?
I had put a bit of masking tape across the rad support to measure centre so I could centre the intercooler on the front end. I removed it afterwards of course.What’s the green thing above the crash bar ?

I’m sure this is only the beginning of their testing. They haven’t posted any official updates on their website and seeing as its only on their story and not an official post leads me to believe they just wanted to throw those who purchased the unit in good faith a bone to hold us over for now.Intake for sure but I don't believe a tune or downpipe. You can see the difference in heat soak with the two readings. 146.5 - 186.8 F so there's more cooling potential in the intercooler as well. They won't know this until they get it out and data log temps.
Wish they'd have done this with both OEM and upgraded intercooler between installs. It's a much better representation, then running it on a static bench or dyno.
Thanks again Chris, for originally posting this.
