My Buschur survived both this at Thunderhill, and a 4200.00 front end hit and run accident (I was in the Home Depot, and the car was hit hard enough to bend the Core support across the front of the car.) pushed the Buschur IC back 3" on the top drove the car home ZERO leaks. Should I apply to Buschur Racing as an extreem product tester??? ;-).

I just received my new PWR intercooler today. Have not installed it yet but it looks great. The quality of this thing is outstanding. I know not many people are using it, but I would highly recommend it to anyone. I will let you know what kind of gains I get....

AMS is a very nice part in conjunction with their lower pipe kit. I've seen Buschurs in person also and they both look like quality parts. I'm not sure how Buschur is claiming they loose 5 bends in the lower pipe alone. I am looking at it sitting on the shelf and don't see where it hardly had 5 bends in it to begin with. Another important part in my decision, that for me is very important, is customer service and just simple polite people skills when I talk to the person I'm going to spend my money with. I have yet to call Buschur one time and have someone treat me like I wasn't their red headed step child. I'm gonna say I had this happen on more than 5 phone calls. I just decided for that reason that the helpful people at AMS (Eric usually) would get my $2,000-3,000 for this batch of parts. And for that matter I will gladly give them the next $3000 for their turbo kit also. I would even be happy if it made 20 less Hp for the fact that they would be happy to talk to me and be helpful in gettting to that point.

I can't run my business like that, so I don't believe in supporting someone that attempts to, regardless of how successful they are or claim to be.

I have the same intercooler and I love it, works very well. Cant beat the price for the size. I love how the end tanks are bead welded dime style and not precast endtanks.

FAS2ltr,
I find it extremely hard to believe you have ever talked to anyone here and been treated poorly. I find it even harder to believe it happened 5 times. There are plenty of guys with grudges against us for one reason or another but unless you were a dick when you called I don't believe anyone treated you poorly.

Goes along the same ideas as calling me a liar on the bends we deleted. If it is on the shelf in front of you simply count the total number of bends in all the plumbing from the turbo to the intercooler core itself.

Now you have been treated badly.
