Buschur RACE intercooler. Best Handsdown! Deluxe core its a toss-up between the three, but the Race core from Buschur is BY FAR the best!

There is quite a bit of information about all three intercoolers on the forums, but here's a page we put together on our intercooler with everything from design to testing:

And a link to our intercoolers pages with 3", 3.5", 4" and 5" thicknesses to meet any need

http://www.extremeturbosystems.com/M..._82/index.html

A picture of the standard and wide-tank intercoolers for good measure

Both our 3" and 3.5" standard and wide-tank intercoolers bolt directly on with no modifications to the bumper beam or undertray, and all sizes up to 5" fit perfectly with the undertray

All three companies have great units.

I think what sets our aside from everyone elses is the manner in which our cores are tested in not just real world applications but the most BRUTAL of racing environments.

Our Time attack car ran our FMIC and still is going on its fourth year now. It dominated just about every form of racing it entered and never skipped a beat. Not only did the core perform flawlessly the brackets and welds are still as strong as they were on day one.

Dave Kern just recently won his class and broke the AWD TT record for the pikes peak hill climb... all on an AMS FMIC. On top of that he just won the championship for the Colorado hill climb series for his class. If a full blown Rally car can't brake our IC or make it skip a beat....I don't know what can.

Making a great performing IC core is hard in itself....Making one that will last is a whole different story!

just like in your other post....where you want to take your car will help you decide. are you gonna drag, TA or just want a street beast??

i run the DTM ic and so do many others. along with the above mentioned ic's it is r&d'd and track tested on the DTM TA car.

give some more info on your current and projected setup if you want more realistic suggestions.

I have an ETS 3 inch unit on my IX, and I love it. Performs greats, looks great and the build quality is amazing. I don't know about the other two brands.

I have the Buschur deluxe. Couldnt be happier with it and it has 20" less of intercooler pipe. That reduces lag. ButI agree with alot of posts above. There is no def. answer.
