I have used it and it seems to work good, thats what my tuner said. The one I got did not come with brackets and I had to get one fabbed which I did cheaply and the IC didn't sit right. I may buy another one now if they come with proper mounting brackets. 132 shipped is nothing. Some people think they heat soak but I have never really felt those effects. The LICP side was always warm while the cold side was always cold. This was on 23PSI and pump gas. Take it for what its worth, I am not a pro at this and do not sell anything.

Dont let post count get to you and make you think people dont know anything, no one else was trying to be a smart azz either!

You should create another post asking that question as it's never been covered. Also, for the record the evo green hasn't been tested and neither have GSC or HKS cams. Wow, I wonder if the xspower/ssac fmics are sold on ebay? Maybe they are the mystery ebay brand?!?

Don't talk about being relevant or useful when you spewed misinformation on the first page of this thread and have continued to clutter it up by asking questions which are answered in this thread. Do you need a FAQ? A picture book? Perhaps someone to read this thread to you?

And the record, I don't let post count get to me. Obviously I can't say the same about stupid posts.

I think the bottom line is that the ebay fmic (AMS knock off) is a upgrade from stock, and a great HP gain for the money.

I would be interested in your outcome with the XS Power intercooler. I had what I would call a generic intercooler from them on my prelude. Construction is solid, obviously do not know what the internals look like, but have had no problems. They stated it was for a 92-96 prelude, but probably would have fit better on a 1956 chevy. Lemme know how it works out!

I should be tuned this week.

yeah- the only people that talk bad about the ebay FMIC are the drag racing or autocross professionals.

-Rule of thumb on buying ebay parts is expect less out of it and youll get more.

ok guy, sounds like you bring alot to the table too...? Just was trying to get some real answers not some gay remarks from you. Thanks though...n. Maybe you should ask more questions, I know my stuff, but wanted to hear more opinions from people who had bought it, before I just went and blindly bought it.
