AMS FMIC or Buschur Racing Deluxe FMIC

i wanted to upgrade my front mount but i dont plan/want to cut a lot of things just to fit it. Minimal trimming is okay with me. im still debating if i should run an AMS FMIC or Buschur Racing Deluxe FMIC. Which product is better? Anyone know? It would be faster for me to get one from AMS Because i live 20 mins away. Let me know what you guys think.

Faster... AMS, why? Cause I talked to them yesterday and they have them in stock so it's a 20 minute drive for you...

Who's better? more or less personal preference. I personally got the AMS front mount along with their turbo kit... It proven to work.


Take your pic you can't go wrong either way...

ok the break down, AMS and BUSCHUR i believe use the same core. so its the endtanks that are different. but here is the catch, AMS will fit stock piping, im not sure if the deluxe will. either or great choice.

stear clear of turbo xs, there fmic sucks .

Buschur is cheaper and comes with a custom short-routed lower IC pipe. Not to mention the IC is an awesome looking peice. Cant beat that for $695.

I heard if you flip the stock intercooler upside down you net 48 horsepower j/k I think that what really needs to happen is a test session with all intercoolers. I would definately install an intercooler temp gauge on my car to chart drops in temp with different intercoolers. Can anyone else agree that this would be one of the most helpful comparos on the forum? Vendors could ship their product to be tested and returned to them afterwards and we can all get some hard numbers.
