The gain will be minimal. When you get a MBC/EBC and crank the boost up is when you really are starting to need a FMIC. A larger one will account for more flow, but until you need to cool more air, faster, then you will only see minimal gains...

+1, If you plan on staying at 24psi, I would just rock the stocker. Esp cuz its winter now and your in NY. But if you got the extra funds then why not. But w/e you do, DO NOT go the cheap route, get yourself a nice AMS/BR/ETS and youll be happy.

Personally Id get an aftermarket one and get that thing retuned to 26psi.

Edit : Pick yourself up a walbro too!

If your getting a great deal on one, then go for it. I for one would go with ETS. And def get some injectors and a fuel pump, 3 port ebc and tune it for 26 psi and you will be happy.

If your getting a great deal on one then buy it..The stock cooler is good for up to 400 whp when I had the stock one at 27psi I made 370 whp easy with no knock but felt the car pull back * from back to back pulls and that's when the bigger core comes to play.
