The high pressure T fitting leaked at first, but I replaced the fancy one with a simple $7 one from O'Reilly's and it was fine after that.

I did have some trouble getting all the parts from KPI at first. It took several weeks to get all the parts, but once I got them all it was fairly easy and works great.

Knowing what I know now I would get a kit from Forced Inductions Interchillers out of Australia if I did it again. They ship super fast and have very good customer service from what I've read. I'm still very happy with the Killer Chiller and it works GREAT, but it was a hassle getting all the parts from him, however, it was 1/2 the price so there's that. I spent a total of about $1300 for everything (race kit, AN fittings/hoses, discharge, recharge, reservoir etc.). I would have spent about $2500 for all that with FI.

So does the interchiller replace the heat exchanger and intercooler?

It can, yes. Some people keep the HX and run a bypass valve so they they'll run around the street with the HX and turn on the chiller at the track. Some people like this so they don't have to tun the AC all the time.

I deleted my HX. Less parts, less price and it will be 15° cooler. Plus I live in South Georgia so my AC is always on anytime I'm in the car regardless what time of year.

And before the question is asked...yes, you can still have cabin heat with AC on for the chiller.

Sorry for all the questions...but I thought most tracks make you turn the AC off? Do they let you run it for cars with an interchiller?

All good man, keep asking. That's how we learn.

Typically at the track you have turn off the AC but with the race kit it comes with an extra solenoid that shuts off the low pressure line to the evaporator so it routes all the refrigerant to the chiller. When it does that it won't sweat and drip.
