Hi guys.Well, after wasting my whole day at work looking up info on different types of intercoolers I just can't make up my mind on which one to buy.I'm willing to spend $1000 on the fmic kit.I started looking at the greddy 24r fmic,but there's so many people in the forums that say not to get it.I guess my question would be;If you had a chance to buy a fmic,which one would you get and why?Please just straight answers.Thanks.
 
Okay guys, less bashing, more discussion.

I don't really care what's happened in the past, my job is to make sure it doesn't happen in the present and the future.

I guess you forgot that your product requires cutting the rad support.



Wow, just wow. Thanks for sharing your professionalism :rolleyes:

Here is another option for the original poster.
http://agpturbo.com/image.php?productid=16204
"Spearco 2-216 core measuring 28x10.5x3.5, superior designed end tanks, and short routed 2.5" powdercoated tubing. The tubing is offered with any BOV flange (Greddy, 1G, Turbo XS, HKS, etc) and can be ordered setup for either a factory 1G or 2G intake manifold or the awesome Magnus sheet metal...The kit includes all hardware needed: T-Bolt clamps, silicone couplers, and a new coolant overflow bottle."
Pictures for reference can be found at http://dsmtuner.com/forums/showthread.php?t=208879 those are just some pix i compiled from the members on this board when I was looking for a fmic.

Yes, I did forget the rad support. Sorry. I concentrated on the bumper missed when he said ect. Slight blonde moment. :coy: As I said in the previous post, you will need to trim or delete your bumper support. Your rad supports will also need to be cut or modified to fit the piping. :thumb:
 
I had a Greddy 24 front mount and sold it because it was pathetic, the tubing diameter is small and they run the tubing extra long. Now I have the Slowboy intercooler and it works great. I can beat on my car and the air intake temps stay the same. Thats good for this Florida heat.
 
I was looking on sbr for a complete maf kit.Now they ask you for either a 1g or 2g.Well i'm a little confused on how you go about this because since I have a 2g with a 1g conversion.How do I know which one to go with?

Even with a 6 bolt swap you would still use a 2g translator. :thumb:
 
Thank you guys for all your help.I decided to go with the SBR fmic kit with the gmaf-t kit blow-thru setup.Also thanks to mark and jon from SBR for their help.
