FMIC upgrade

I'm just wondering what's the best bang for the buck aftermarket fmic + piping combo. I've looked at several brands, Forced fed, perrin, greddy, blitz, etc. I know the perrin one retains the factory crash beam but does not come with IC piping. Any thoughts?

I would suggest the Buschur for the stock turbo. Nisei is a very good intercooler, but IMHO it's a little big for the stocker. Perfect for an aftermarket turbo though.

Buschur all the way, fitment is great with the piping and intercooler is a breeze to install.

I just installed the Nisei the other day, took me about an hour, it fits PERFECTLY with no modification to anything whatsoever. It bolts up to everything in the stock location, actually better (less of a gap btw the pipes that are coupled together which I assume would create less turbulence). Without a reflash I saw a considerable gain up top, car feels much stronger in the upper rpm range. It fills the front of the car beautifully, comes fully polished and is just a work of art. I would HIGHLY recommend this intercooler.

I just bought a 2003 with the Ultimate Racing FMIC and piping. On the UR site it is $1550 for the IC and the piping.



To me it looks almost smaller than stock? Any thoughts on this IC?
