Intercooler Poll

Since I have seen some recent threads regarding Intercoolers and I dont know which one I want myself, I figured that I'd post a poll of the popular companies: AMS, ETS, HKS, ARC, Buscher, Blitz, Perrin

From what I read, Arc is probably one of the best intercooler in terms of efficiency and design technology. It's bare and plate, much more efficient than anything that comes in a kit.

HKS, BLITZ and other custom intercooler and made with a spearco or garret core. HKS make really good products but is expensive for what you get. Blitz intercooler is very popular in Japan.

I will be picking up the AMS unit shortly. It will be interesting to see the development of the CBRD core.

haha well i knew that in creating the thread, but i just wanted to get some general opinions, i really dont plan on doing a tubo anytime soon, so i dont know if i really need 4" FMIC, i dont think i would gain any HP if i went with a 4" over a 3" on stock turbo, correct?

^That's the reason I scratched the Buschur off my list of potential FMICs.
