Anyone have experience buying an intercooler kit off eBay or Amazon? I found a few that include everything plus a new bov. What comes recommended? Hard to find used X parts around here. I've heard certain BOVs dont work well with our cars as well.

Here's just one that I've found

I think this might be the same kit as the CX Racing one. Hopefuly Magnok chimes in, he's been running it for a little while

 

Nah- easy to find used X FMIC, BOV, and piping. Even EBay has them.

The X parts bolt right up! And unless you are going FP RED or other X-upgraded turbo swap - the X FMIC is adequate.

My $.02 worth.

 

Go with ETS FMIC Kit

 

Maybe my eBay search skills are lacking.. Think you could post links to supposed items?

I'm gonna get raped with shipping anyways rather have it done once and get everything in the same package.

 

got with ETS..... don't ebay it up.... you may not get exactly what you want.

 

$740 for a kit that doesn't include a licp?

This seems to be one of the better deals I've found so far.

Thats junk man. Spend a little more and get a name brand setup.

 

Agree X 1,000,000
ETS AMS Mishimoto Evo X Buschur or Ultimate Racing ones like these dont go no name brand or more than likely youll be sorry in the end.

 

Yea the cx racing seems to be the most cost effective one that can be found. The nice lady at the other end of the phone assured me that their intercoolers are made by them and not imported from China so I think it's a good deal

ETS is the best value. they build damn good cores

don't cheap out on intercoolers - the amount of heat-soak I see from some lower-end/no-name brand IC's isn't even funny - and our cars don't come with IC sprayers

 

yeah and the fitment from ETS is always spot on.... they maybe able to cut you a deal... for a licp and an uicp ya never know call michael or robert over there at ETS and talk to them ya never know

 

Thanks for the advice. Going to go with the ETS next week.

 

I have the CBRD FMIC, LICP, and UICP and that's some real nice stuff. They're not the cheapest guy on the block, but their quality is always top notch.

 

good choice! tell them Tim sent you they guy they made the Green 4" Intercooler for
