Where can you get Turbo XS for $400 new?

Personally, I've heard that AMS is the best overall. I'm not to sure about the Buschur stuff as far as quality goes but the man stands behind his product. As far as Turbo XS, I just haven't heard from their camp too much.

New Intercooler & IC Pipes
Interesting, my Helix ICP didn't require any trimming during installation
did u use the Helix coupler? If so, wasn't the TurboXS FMIC supposed to come with its own couplers so they could fit with stock and aftermarket piping with no problem?

Sorry for the questions, i might end up with the same set up and dont want any problems..

Right, the Helix IC pipes fit like stock. It was the TURBOXS INTERCOOLER that required the trimming of the front bumper cover and removal of the undertray to fit.

Yeah, mine came with an aluminum "L" bracket for the top mount.

It also comes with these triangle shaped brackets for the bottom but only 2 bolt holes out of the 3 on each one line up.

are those triangle brackets for the backside of the IC? You wouldn't happen to have a pic of how they look installed do you?

I just got mines in today, however it's raining outside and i don't wanna do it right now. Plus i do'nt know how those brackets mount.
