thats a good intercooler kit. if it comes with everthing shown. i bought the ssac short route fmic. it was fairly cheap and well capable of 500hp. or so ive seen around where i live.

So its a good intercooler to go with then. I only wanty to run 21psi.

I personaly would go ebay, but I would built it yourself. Measure out your opening and get the right sized fmic. And then get the universal pipe kit. It comes with plenty of different bends, silicone couplers and t bolt clams. I was a little worried about doing it this way but it turned out really nice nice and looks good. Plus you can save about 100bucks by doing it this way.

running 21 psi on the couplers it comes with will probably blow them up. i forgot to mention you might want to upgrade those couplers. but other than that i see nothing wrong with getting it from ebay.

Why would i need to built my own that sounds hard . plus it wont be a drag racer just a nice looking car. I am getting the front mount for looks cause i think it would be able to hold 400hp the side mount i mean. i just want one. it does not have to be ready for racing. just sexy. o and i know i have to change the bumper also.

you would have to get a bov flange welded in for that kit.

get this one: eBay Motors: 95-99 Eclipse 2G 4G63 Turbo FMIC Intercooler+Piping Kit (item 280256216816 end time Aug-20-08 15:51:45 PDT)
Its the ssac fmic with short route piping and 1g bov flange. you could find them everywhere on ebay for around $300 and theres a lot of people that use them successfully with 400hp, anything more than that is when they start crapping out.

I've owned one for almost 2 years with zero problems
