yea thats what i was thinking, but i wasnt to sure cause its so cheap, do you think it would be wise to buy this once i get new belts?

 

[xioca]

The whole cheap thing doesn't really apply to FMIC i don't think. People swear by Ebay FMIC.

Chances are, thats what punishment is using. This has been covered in some other threads. PR uses alot of ebay parts but backs them up with guarentees and good customer service. Most likely that is an ebay core, which like states above has been praised on here. Im going to go with ETS's kit shortly but they are a bit pricey

that punishment racing intercooler setup has been proven on countless cars as the most efficient cheapest intercooler kit that you can buy without piecing one together on ebay. Rest easy that you are getting a good buy.

The search button will shed light on all of this and you will become sick of reading it all.

i thought punisher was using xc cores or some crap? just make sure it will feed your horsepower goals whatever they may be do it right the first time

When I considered the PR kit a few months ago, I think it said in an email I got from them that people have made 400+whp with their kit. I'm not 100% sure, but I'll double check.

Edit: I couldn't find the email with the exact numbers, but I'm almost positive it was 400+ whp.

Thats a great kit might even get it myself, this spring. Everything you need right there. I have the mods for my goals, just need the fmic, and a bit more fuel.

I have a CXRacing core and then piped it with a universal kit. Making my own custom piping wasn't too bad. I hope to get some time on the welder up at school instead of using all the silicone couplers I have currently. The core is holding up very well to the crap the DOT spreads on the roads in the winter. As cheap as it was, I really wouldn't feel bad buying another core to run in the summer w/o all the dings, dents, scratches, and corrosion from PA winters.

Contact "kchaazz" on this site, he'll tell you all about the PR setup. He installed his last week. Also, he has pictures posted in the gallery, I think around 12-26-08. I have the E-Bay long route FMIC. No problems with it.

 

[xezerax]

I'll be purchasing the PR kit soon, i emailed them last night with a question about the bov flange and i had a reply almost first thing this morning, so at least there on top of their customer service

PR FMIC are really nice, great price and the service is awesome.

Don't get an ebay knockoff get the PR one. These DSM vendors are struggling because of all the knockoffs now days. I would suggest the PR one anyways because my old FMIC was a PR and it was great and even got me into the 10s. Deffinantly give them a shot I promise its worth your time.
