ETS or AMS would be a awesome choice. Both would suffice to any power goal you might have. Plus both have great team to back there product

Guess I have to get my two cents in here.

The large AMS FMIC core is a great intercooler, I've had quite a few here on the dyno. Our Race FMIC core is also a great intercooler. I've tested quite a few others (if not all of them) and I can tell you that ours and AMS's will stand out everytime when you start measuring AIT's.

Our Race FMIC is what is on our 8.88 @ 172.74 second drag EVO and on my daily driver that just ran 9.65 at 151.

Scotty,

What am I missing here? I thought AMS was also in the US. Or, are you referring to some other AMS?

My vote is ETS, but they are also in the US and not on your list.

I can ship an intercooler to the UK, not a problem.

otownevo, if you think about your question you can figure out the answer yourself as it is quite simple. If the air leaving the intercooler is 300 degrees with a junk intercooler and you inject alky yes it is going to cool the AIT's. Now if you have a great intercooler and the air leaving the intercooler is 100 degrees and you inject AIT's it is going to cool it even more.

Voting on a part or giving an opinion on a part just because "you" own it doesn't make it the correct decision. (not directed at anyone but on topics like this one all over EVOm and the internet)

You should base you purchase on what works the best in your price range. Basing your decision to buy XXX intercooler because some other knuckle head was stupid enough to buy it and then tells everyone else to get it..........is not a wise decision.

I know we've spoken before so hello again We can almost certainly get one of our intercoolers to you including shipping for less than one of the competition even if purchased there in the UK. I'd like the opportunity to send you a quote if you're interested! We've got a great sale going on our 4" intercoolers right now as well! See here - https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=310129

With that as well as the 2 smaller (even less expensive) and 1 larger sized EVO intercoolers we offer we can definitely get you an intercooler that will perfectly suit your coolings needs

Tom

That is true, Tom can get you his intercooler there for less than his competitors can.............but if you buy one of his competitors intercoolers (AMS or ours) you won't need to use any ice or "hose it down" to keep it cool.

Here's the video for reference http://s92.photobucket.com/albums/l8...ent=101453.flv
