We have had enough hot days to test the intercooler that I can give a honest review about it. Well you may or may not have herd about levels performance and well he is a vet that hand tig welds intercoolers for all ecoboost platforms now. He is a one man show and welds to order so the wait time is more than us impatient car modders want to wait. I waited 2 months from order to package showing up at the house. The welds are thick and perfect. Instilation was a breeze. It's 100% bolt in and does come with nice t clamps for the charge pipes. The core is a bar and plate, thin and tall so when it does get hot(idling in 95° weather for 20+ minutes) it quickly goes back to ambient or really close. The end capes are tapered from charge pipe to the core so they slowly expand to the core. Usually it sites 2-5° above ambient while cruising and after many pulls max is 10° above ambient. I would say 95% of the time it's in that 2-5° zone while in boost. As long as you can wait I highly recommend his intercooler unless your upgraded turbo. Anyway I wish I had more pics but I was to anxious to install and his pics on the website are damn good of what it looks like

Glad to finally see a review. and a good one at that!

Really like the design but I don't think I'll be able to run it with my mishimoto oil cooler. :( doesn't look like it'll clear it.

So...was your issue resolved? And to the people who own this intercooler....what are your thoughts now that you have owned it a while? There's so many intercoolers out there now it's ridiculous...im compiling data....hows the spool with stocker turbo and larger turbo/hybrid if you own one. Is it worth it and how easy is this business to deal with? Just read alot and saw it takes a while.

Still waiting on my CC company's decision, not a single update received from Levels to this day.
I ended up going with the Depo i/c as I needed one to load my E30 tune.

What makes the cp-e so much better than say the ATP/garret intercooler?
