I love the ETS 4" Cores. They are some of the best FMICs on the market! If you are looking to uppgrade your turbo in the future I would go ahead and get an ETS 3.8" Garrett core and you will never have to change it again. You won't lose much lag due to the way the fin packs/end tanks are designed but you will make an extra 25whp

Mikey is right. You can't go wrong with ETS intercoolers. The cooler IAT (Intake Air Temp) allows you to run more timing and boost with no detonation, unlike the factory intercooler that detonates on the top of the 3rd with barley higher than stock boost levels. Not to mention your tune will stay consistent pull after pull.

If you have any questions, let us know!

I have an ETS as well I love it. Should have went thicker but I love it. Buschur and AMS both make good intercoolers they are my top 3 in that order!

I have an ETS 3.5". Fits great and should be all I need for my current goal of 550whp. If I upgraded, it would be the ETS 3.8" Garrett core preferably but a 4" would do if a good deal came along.

I don't see any crash beam so yes it looks like it was modded.

You can't go wrong with either ETS, AMS, or Buschur.

What size core is that Michael on the BBY Evo pictured above? Do tell. I just love the looks of that puppy. The welds, and the end tanks as well as the bracketry look sooo nice!

Sparky,

The BBY picture looks like the ETS 3.8" Garrett core. It if the same core that we run on both our shop EVOs. Best on the market imho
