Best Intercooler?
I had a accident with my EVO 
and figured I might as well replace the FMIC since I have to replace it anyway. I have a few people with different one's in the area and wanted to know what everyone else thinks? My friend with the Busher one has had problems with leaks in piping. I don't think it's a problem with the FMIC, but want to know other people's experiences. I also want to have to cut the front crash beam or have to majorly chop up the front end. Any suggestions?

Thanks en1gma19, I actually just read that whole thread and found a few more that I went over. I usually search before posting, but didn't notice the main one's that were done a long time ago. Sorry, got lazy after searching through pages to not find anything that really answered the question, only bashed so and so for this or that. I think I have my answer now after hours of reading and sorting through all the crap.
Well, you already know about our FMIC as I see in your post.
There is NO way to have problems with leaking in our plumbing. Please have your friend give us a call, love to hear what is going on.
The lower i/c pipe that comes with our kit eliminates 5 bends and 20" of i/c plumbing, just from the lower. Flows 1125 cfm, has .84 psi of pressure drop and is good for 750 hp.
The kit retains the factory i/c sprayer, the complete front bumper and the splash shield can also stay. The splash shield can either have a small piece cut our or it can be heated with a heat gun and not cut at all.
As for the leaks. The pipe we send bolts directly to the turbo using the stock gasket design. It is solid, one piece. Has a coupling on the end that goes into the FMIC. If the clamps are tight, then it cannot leak. I don't see how he can have a problem.
The other end uses either the stock 90 degree coupling (for use with the stock upper i/c pipe) or comes with a new coupling for use with our upper i/c plumbing. Either way, nothing needed but installing the clamps and tightening them.
Comments like that, needless to say, hurt a vendors business.
I really want to know how he could end up with leaks. Please have him contact us.
