CSF Cooling Certainly appreciate your reply, even though it is about 4 years late. You might want to refresh your memory and take a look at your initial thread and read you and VF's posts about the cooler,

Timeline:
10/27/16: "
Lab testing versus OEM from CSF, Dyno testing by VF, and on track testing by Yost Autosport's new endurance racing M4 race car
coming soon"
10/27/16: "
We'll be getting all the data together, and we'll be releasing everything before the product is available for sale."
10/28/16: "
We've got the first test unit on our car which will be hitting the dyno this afternoon. With SEMA being next week, we'll collect some data logs on our drive to and from Vegas, but won't be able to start full instrument testing until the week following."
11/15/16: "VF Engineering was scheduled to have this cooler on the dyno late last week / early this week. I haven't had a chance to touch base with them this week, but
we should be getting together to discuss dyno results in the next week or so....Lab testing from our ISO certified lab will be released before the final production model will be available to market."
12/27/16: "
In the mean time we've been focusing on finishing our dyno and road testing, while CSF is working on lab and bench flow testing."
12/29/16: "As soon as we get a day or two with 80°+ F, we'll be back out on the road and at the drag strip to show the recovery benefits of the Heat Exchanger, and the cooling/
power benefits of the Charge Cooler."
1/2/17: "
We're scheduling our testing and release of our data for ~2 weeks before the release of the coolers. This fits our time schedule, and not anyone elses. We also have Pure Turbos putting the charge-air-cooler + CSF heat exchanger on their own company development vehicle as well. This will be an additional 3rd party validation of the results. They were alaso very busy wrapping up the year, but I did touch base with them last week to confirm that all of our time schedules are still in sink with the release of the cooler.
We will be releasing the data soon."
1/25/17: "
We've been testing.. 1st 15 kits arrive this week - all sold - they're going to the right people in the right cars around the world.
Data will be coming soon from CSF/VF"
1/26/17: "While we've stated before that presenting the results of our testing has been delayed due to less than ideal testing conditions, that doesn't mean we have ceased testing altogether. So far we have seen charge air temperatures decrease by as much as 15 °F on the dyno (with IAT's dropping from and average of 113 °F down to 98 °F), with
power increasing by an average of 8 HP and 10 TQ to the wheels (improving from 487hp/509tq to 495hp/518tq), on a day with a modest ambient temperature of 76-78 °F."
2/10/17: "
Will be going down personally to Pure Turbos tomorrow to complete testing on the full-kit."
7/7/17: This was the last time CSF or VF replied in this thread even with many people still waiting/asking for data.
This is just a bad look IMO. But again, I am sure you don't really care because you have sold so many kits.
