Actually the outlets on the AMS are slightly different, and it fits better without making you want to go fricken crazy when your installing it.

I have an AMS I could possibly borrow for the test. Without changing anything else except the IC would be pretty easy. I would bring the car on the dyno witout the front bumper cover. Change the IC out within a short period of time and take an average of 2-3 runs for each IC. This should make a good consensus.

Thatwould be great if you could do that. Let us know and try to measure boost Via a map sensor if you could as well

All talk, by venders no less. Makes me believe that there is no real difference

I just installed my ebay FMIC and yeah a little tugging was needed to get the mounts to line up correctly and the end tanks are a one piece cast unlike the ams so the inside of the tanks are rough from casting...... But still for $150 who cares!

You could always buy/rent Tom Payne's old shop/dyno to do PPI's testing. I think last I heard it was for sale again??

What do you think about the raditator and intercooler combo. Just for some extra protection against heat soak on track days?

Jarrod want to get a business loan and buy the dyno..lol? j/k The guy that currently owns Payne's old shop does not have insurance so he does not want the liability for someone else other than him to be on the dyno. This is what I heard from the grapevine anyways....

That is way cheap! Soon we will have Ebay Radiator threads. Try it and tell us if you like it. DO some logging from the stock ECU for your coolant temps before and after.

The radiator does not have a drain plug, so you might want to rethink that.
