jspec stock intercooler question
i have a jspec series 5 upper and lower intake on my s4 block.. i was told that since there are slight differences with the intakes, that the aspec intercooler might not site as high or as level as the jspec s5 intercooler will?
does anyone know anything about this?
i really would like to avoid buying another intercooler, especially a jspec one as it will be a bit more difficult to obtain?
has anyone else done this swap and not had any issues, or does anyone know if there really is a difference with the way that the intercooler sits between jspec and aspec??

AFAIK they are almost the same.
They don't have that little air tube on the back but seem to be the same.
The Jspec manifolds don't have extra vac lines but the height and shape should be the exact same.

I'm a boost creep...

It terms of fitment, only the series matters, not where it's from.
S4 and S5 intake manifolds are different. US and Japanese intake manifolds are the same.
S4 and S5 intercoolers are different. US and Japanese intercoolers are the same.
