Intercooler looks good, but is it?

[all2muchfun]

I was looking at this intercooler, made by adfx racing. That is on a group buy for 725, with all piping. Did the search and the results seem to be pleasing. It's one of the new extruded tube fin designs. Which has been used for a couple of years in Europe with great results. And from what people have said the're working there way over to the USA. They seem to flow really high numbers with less pressure drop then others. And the piping is aluminum which is better than steel, from what i've read. Here is the web address to look at the info: http://www.adfxracing.com/ic-info.asp
What do you guys think is it a good deal? Even if it just an alright intercooler, it's still a very good deal for a full kit right? Just tell me what you guys think.

They are a legit company, I was just looking at there dsm intake eysterday and all the links were working.

It must be something up with their website. If you can find a number try giving them a call.

I have had an ADFX fmic on my 1st gen for about a year. It works very well. There are pics of it in my gallery. It performs well. My best time with it is a 12.88 @ 106.xx. With a 16g @ 17 psi. The piping isn't polished but with a little work can be made to shine nicely. The fitment is very good but be prepared to hack the front bumber a lot. I just cut the ends off the bumper to use them as supports for the bumper cover and actually have no bumper. Over all it is a good kit with a very nice price tag.

Another thing is whenever I go to the track or to a car meet people always comment on how big and nice the fmic is. It gets me a lot of compliments, which is cool.

So you had to cut your front bumber support? The metal piece right? I thought that was normal with most intercoolers? Or did you have to cut the plastic bumber? I see you did in your gallery, but did you have to?

It's alright. Except, the one I was looking at flows more. And is not bar and plate. Which means no bent fins, and worse cooling down the line. And comes with everything needed for install.

i have the adfx FMIC on my car. it took forever to get but its a really nice piece. no pics yet. if you have a stock type turbo youll be fine with the piping but if its a 20g style youll have to fab up a new 90* pipe. no big deal at all really. any muffler shop would have the bend.
