Talking BR FMIC or Turbo XS

i have narrowed it down to 2 ic's. im not sure which one i want. the BR delux ic with the custom licp or if i want the turbo XS ic. right now on my car i have BR TBE, o2 housing, turbo manifold,boost controller, and a custom tune and an Intake.. i do not plan to go big turbo so i don't need a huge AMS race IC. if i get the br ic i will do there whole ic pipe setup as well and if i get the turbo xs i will probably go with an injen ic pipe kit or somin. ne ideas, dyno results or just plain advice would be appreciated.

i figure it will give me about the same power as both of these. BR comes with licpand thats about 200 iwould not have to spend, or i can get the turbo XS for 510 shipped.

AMS is having a group buy for the regular fmic that will bolt right up for $630 shipped. just a thought

any of these fmic's will do a great job but my vote would be either AMS or Buschur as I have first hand experience with the Buschur and a couple of local evos have the AMS. both effective in cooling w/ minimal pressure drop. Dont really know much about the Turbo XS but have heard good things.

I vote for anyone but TXS.

IMO they've proved themselves as a business with their EVO utec "support".

it wont bolt right up - you have to trim the undertray. I wish AMS / Bushur would make fmic's that fit the car without cutting it up...

I wouldn't mind paying a bit more to ensure perfect fit

I have the turboxs, with buschur piping. The price was right and it seems to work just as well as the others.
