Intercooler Kit

So yesterday I take off my front bumper and notice that my intercooler is kind of rigged on by the previous owner who had the car. Now, I am looking to just change the entire system including the piping. I have a Forge Type RS Recirculating Valve that I am going to leave on. Any opinions you guys may have on a good system?
thanks!

People are gonna post what they run.

ETS, Buschur, CBRD, and AMS are gonna be your top options.

I run ETS parts religiously

+1 go ETS 3.5" is you're on a stock frame turbo. It fits absolutely perfectly, no modifications needed.

ETS 4" F.T.W. This bad boy is efficient enough to allow me to run 30 psi on the stock evo9 turbo on 93 oct. without knock,my i.a.t. #s were impressive to say the least,if you get one of these you won't be disappointed.

you need to search. there is literally hundreds of threads on ets vs ams garret vs non garret. use google and choose which you like based on power levels, long term goals, current mods etc. so many options, people are just going to tell you what they run.

i have a stock FMIC but i have piping. if i could choose any core i would go with:

- JMF/CBRD Garret 3.8 core
- Custom CBRD UICP for stock battery
- JMF 2.5 LICP.

expensive but best on the market imo.

This... many will argue that Ebay FMIC's work just as good as well

The best thing you can do is use this community to find vendors who know this car, put time, money and effort into their R&D, and build great products. These guys have hit the nail on the head when suggesting AMS, Buschur, ETS, CBRD, etc...

Just take a look at our Vendors section and see for yourself.
