I no this has been talked about but I'm I need of help & I need to pick one because I am ordering the kit asap.I do not know what is better the ams intercooler set meaning upper lowwer & core or the buschur now the ams is a 3.6" & the buschur is a 4.5" if I'm lookinf to go 400 plus whp what is the better system for m to get???can people tell me how they liked theres

 

Both are great. Our's is smaller in core size but the core works great. Its the same core we use on the EVO VIII units and its been tested to 600whp efficiently.

buscher FTW

 

This thread is going to get locked. Do your research and make a decision based on your findings. Everyone has their own opinions on who you should go with, but in the end, its your decision. Both shops have top notch parts and services.

 

I knew that was coming.

OP, just do some research. As mentioned, both are fine units and it comes down to personal preference. Both will get you to 400whp. Hell, the stocker will get you there. Its a matter of efficiency and consistency. Consider price, inventory status, fitment, quality, performance, etc. If you plan on being around here for the long haul I would suggest you learn how to research and ask the right questions because I doubt this will be the first product that you aren't a subject matter expert on. Good luck.

 

Thanks AMS I have a ton of yall products but many people keep telling me the larger cores are better like ets offers a 4 5 & 6 inch core to me that sounds crazy but myfriend just got the buschur core & he made good numbers but I also know you just changed your core what makes it different??

 

& trust me guysi have been doing my reaseach I called both companies & seen to different cars with them on I guess in the end is my final question is getting a bigger core better for whp gains?? Both seem great honestly ams has the looks & buschur has the size its just hard I should have made a poll lol

 

I personally like the AMS intercooler with the cast end tanks.

 

i have been very happy with all my buschur core's starting with the DSM five years ago....never a problem and always good power numbers.

 

Evo a Mula, what is your ultimate horsepower/turbo size goal?

 

for now i want to max out the stock turbo then after i do that goal i want to do e85 and go around 500 600 whp on a 40r kit mabye

 

Evo a Mula -

One of the key factors when looking for an intercooler is going to be the surface area exposed. You will see some companies have a thicker intercooler, but the surface area is much smaller. It doesn't do any good to have the end tanks exposed, when you can have intercooler core exposed by using a wide core. If you plan on making 500-600, I would recommend a 4.0" intercooler for sure. The good thing about most 4.0" intercooler cores is they will fit behind the stock bumper beam with no cutting. This is good for warranty and crash protection, since the car looks like a daily driver.

Something to note: The opening on the evolution x bumper is right around 20" wide.

Good luck on your search! If you have any other questions, ask away!

Thanks,

Michael

 

classy response.

AMS and BR are the kings. you can't go wrong w/ either or.

 

exactly why im so stuck think im just going to flip a quarter and see were it lands hey buschur paint tour logo in front of your IC like ams agp and ets does i would deff sport that logo

 

I'm going with ams just to keep consistency with all my parts. But the bushur although they don't sport their name on it, does look baddass.
