Hey all,

I know there are several intercooler upgrades and IC pipe kits out there but whats the best bang for buck kit? I have an ETS intake, and Buschur catback now and want to do the bolt on mods before i get my tuning done. I intend to complete the catback as a turboback also.

Thanks for your help,

Brandon

 

I'd say stick with the stocker for now. Right now the limiting factor on the intercoolers is the end tank. I just don't see any out there that significantly increase the frontal surface area for better cooling.

 

I went with perrins FMIC they have nice endtanks and quality! its hooked up to a 1 piece nisei UICP!

 

Well the stocker is adequate, but the upgraded intercoolers out there flow better and bring charge temps down quite a bit. There really is no downside from getting extra HP out of an upgraded intercooler, in fact as long as the core isn't so big as to induce lag, it's some of the safest HP you can add to a turbocharged car.

 

I'm going with this one:

Not too many 4 inch ones out there and no way in hell was I going to give Buscher a dime.

 

i have 3.5" ets with nisei pipes, i really like it. let me know if you want to check it out sometime, im in sd also

 

Exhaust + Intake = Best bang.

 

Yes, but his thread is about intercooler kits .

 

i have the ets intake, buschur catback, UR downpipe/o2 housing, and UR ceramic HFC already.

 

That FMIC looks decent but it could stand to be a couple inches wider to use the entire bumper opening. Not sure why you are jabbin at Buschur like that.

 

im getting the ETS intercooler and piping kit. only $899

 

Drop Filter + Tune = Best bang for the buck

For intercooler, i can't say which one is best bang for the buck, but i personally would get the ARC if i had that much money to blow. But i will go with the Perrin, once i up the power.

 

i think ets would be your best bang for buck here. they also make some nice stuff.

 

Ets Ftw!!!

 

899 is only for the 3" core add 200 to get the 4" core.
