Nisei or ETS Intercooler...?
Dude I was born in NYC, work on LI currently, and I am sure you car is awesome. I just want to offer another side. In the end we are all trying to help the OP make the best choice for his car. I am glad you are happy with your intercooler. I might just take you up on that ride sometime.
THIS IS NOT MY CAR!!!!!! Learn to read correctly.

No way Neise....... or however you spell it........ Is hands down the best intercooler on the market.... Do your research. The most amazing Intercooler i have ever owned...

To be honest, you can't go wrong with either. Both companies make very nice quality parts. I think in the end its more of a money factor. I also not noticed somebody point out that ETS is american, so is Nisei, its made here in america.
I'm currently sporting major wood for the new stock turbo Full Race vertical IC kit. It also leaves the door open to a twin scroll turbo upgrade in the future. They state it will support 775hp and help with spool due to the shorter pipe lengths. It still retains AC, PS, airbox, and stock size battery.
Sweet but pricey.

First off your not going to see immedate gains with an intercooler anyways. Its all about efficency and its ablity to deal with heat soak. You can do a few runs on the stock IC and be heat soaked to no end. I would strongly suggest reading through the test that Nesi has done...
It seems like once a year they come out with a new intercooler that absolutely Blows the competiion away in every aspect. I hope they keep up the amazing work.
My buddy had the Neisi Core on his Stock tubed Evo8 , The spool was the same.
Please dont post "myths" about what you might have heard. Only hard Data , or first hand experance's. That will make "Evilevo's" desion a little easyer. I personally like the Niesi because they have backed up there product with testing that proves its amazing , and have been around a little bit longer then the ets. Both are good products though. I have never heard bad things about either.

Those Nisei tests on our core and buschurs have been proven to be horribly inacurate. The conditions were not even close to the same, temp, boost.. it was very biased and should not be used a test.
do a search for it on here an you will uncover the truth about it.

You are going to get gains by going with ETS, Buschur, Nisei, or AMS. They are all much better than the stock intercooler and the differences between them will most likely be so negligible you will not feel or see them. Just buy the one you like for price and looks, because they all work great.
I have to say that based on looks alone, the ETS is by far the meanest looking! It fills the entire bumper! Sticking with the stock turbo, just go with the ETS 3". It's plenty large for the stock turbo and still large enough for an Evo Green or 30R. That saves you some money that you really don't have to spend.
