SOoo that time has come to get rid of my tiny FMIC and go big with an affordable price range. I have always been a fan of Punishment Racing "Budget FMIC" But i have just came across VRSF Front Mount Intercooler Kit / 2G DSM which looks pretty Dope as well.. Which one is worth the money? any ideas?
 
I bought my Talon one about a month and 1/2 ago give or take, I got it from ebay for $180, its a good size, bad thing is that it had universal piping so I hated life while I was cutting the damn thing to make it fit. Over all though really liked it and it seems to be of good quality.
 
Go with the ETS intercooler. They are one of the dopiest!!!
Been running mine for over a year now and... Yes you guessed right! Its pure dope::thumb:
 
I run the ETS front mount race 10.5 its good to about 650 or so depending on setup. But I think there was a company named vsr or something that made a decent el cheapo setup that made some decent numbers. If you have the bucks ETS is the way to go. My core is black anodized foo... :hellyeah:
 
What are your power goals and what power can your current FMIC handle? Based on those answers the money might be put to better use elsewhere. Bigger is not always better... If your current FMIC will handle your hp levels, all a bigger FMIC will do is create more turbo lag.

But if you really want the Dope effect, just paint yours green. Sorry, I had to.
 
If you can afford it I definitely recommend ETS, great product and fitment. Between Punishment Racing and the VR kit I would recommend Punishment based on their customer service.

They got back with your Mosul, don't hold a grudge. I have heard nothing but good things about vr-speed, I bought the kit as well. He kept great contact every step of the way, they had a delay due to the face I had a HKS flange welded on a pipe. Go with VR speed and you will be sitting great.
 
Hahaha i dont remember putting "DOPE" in there, But ANYWAYS yeah i was gona go with the VR or ETS depending on my next turbo set up. I have an Old tod5 20g sitting around and plan on selling it for the FMIC to run a FP Red or PTE SC50 so yeah new FMIC is needed. Along with other mods i have sitting around
